Report: Americans injured by militants in Iraqi base attack

Americans and Iraqi security forces were injured in an attack on Iraqi's Ain al-Asad air base Saturday according to a report.

A US official who demanded anonymity said the Americans who were injured only suffered minor injuries, but one of the Iraqi security forces was reported to be seriously wounded, The Jerusalem Post reported.

The initial reports said the ballistic missiles hit the base but there is an ongoing assessment to determine whether it was actually a rocket attack, rather than a guided missile offensive, the official said.

“Two security sources in Iraq and one government source said the base was hit by multiple rockets fired from inside Iraq,” The Jerusalem Post’s report says. “A second US official said the attack was carried out by militants from inside Iraq.”

According to US military data, there have been to date, 58 strikes by drones and rockets by Iran-supported militants. Theses same militants have also attacked American forces in Syria no less than 83 times concurrent to the Iraq attacks.

According to The Jerusalem Post, those militants are seeking a way to “impose a cost” on America for its support of Israel in the fight against Hamas, which is backed by Iran.

And while it appears the Biden administration is fully committed to supporting the Jewish State, don't necessarily count on that support in the future if the political winds change. Biden has no other ideology other than what's good for the Bidens.
