Katyusha rockets were beaten: Iraq was attacked by US military base, are wounded (video)

Five US military were injured. The official Baghdad cannot restrain the numerous groups that Iran supports. Al-Assad was attacked in Iraq in the west of the country. At least five US soldiers were injured. Katyusha rockets were beaten. The attack is associated with one of the local groups that supports Iran. It is unclear whether this attack was associated with the threats of Iran to be responsible for the elimination of Israel Hamas leader Ismail Hanie last week. Reuters writes about it.

The US officials confirmed the fact of the attack that occurred in a busy period when the Middle East is preparing for a possible new wave of attacks by Iran and its allies after the liquidation of high -ranking members of Hamas and Hezbolla groups last week. According to two sources in the Iraqi Security Forces, two Katyusha missiles were released in the Iraqi Austro Base. One source in the Iraqi security forces reported that rockets had fallen on the territory of the base.

It is unclear whether the attack was associated with the threats of Iran to take revenge for the murder of leader Hamas. US officials who spoke with Reuters on anonymity reported that one of the soldiers suffered very serious injuries. It is possible that the victims may be larger. "The database staff assess the losses after the attack," one of the officials added. Ismail Hani, the political leader of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas group, was liquidated in the Iranian capital of Tehrani last week.

Iran accused Israel of murder, but Israel did not take responsibility. The high -ranking military commander of the Lebanese group "Hezbolla" Fuada Shukra was also liquidated in Lebana Beirut. And both of these incidents have increased the concern that the conflict in Gaza grows into a larger war in the Middle East. Iran stated that the US was responsible for the murder of Hani because of its support of Israel.

According to the Pentagon report, during a telephone conversation on Monday, US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Joava Galant agreed that the attack was a "dangerous escalation". Last week, the United States struck in Iraq on persons who, according to US officials, were militants preparing for launching drones that threatened the US and coalition.

Pentagon said he would send additional fighters and warships to the Middle East, as Washington seeks to strengthen the defense after Iran's threats and his allies Hamas and Hezbolla. Sources reported that Iraq wants a military coalition led by the United States to leave the country in September and officially completed the coalition until September 2025, while some US forces will probably remain in a recently agreed consultative status.

Baghdad has hardly restrained armed groups supported by Iran, which has attacked US troops in this country and neighboring Syria since October 7. Iraq Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani had a conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Sunday. US Army General Michael Kurilla, the head of the US Central Command, is currently in the Middle East.

One of the officials of the United States said that Kurilla was communicating with allies to coordinate in the event of an Iranian attack on Israel. Meanwhile, former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu went to Iran and met with Masud Pesashian President. It was also known that the Russian Federation has transmitted additional weapons to Iran.
