Breaking!!! Tension As Another Rocket Hit Iraq Military Base Hosting US Troops by NwekeUG(op):
On Sunday, at least six rockets struck the Al Balad Iraqi airbase north of Baghdad which hosts American trainers, advisers and a company that provides maintenance services for F-16 aircraft, IgbereTV reports. The strike wounded at least four Iraqi soldiers. So far, no casualty has been reported on the US side.

Some projectiles fell on a restaurant inside the airbase, officials said.

The attack came just days after Iran fired ballistic missiles at two bases in Iraq that house US forces, causing no casualties.

IgbereTV learnt that majority of US airmen stationed at the Al Balad airbase, 80km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, had already left.

Some shells hit the runway of the airbase while another shell struck the gate, said Colonel Mohammed Khalil, a police officer in the northern province of Saladin.

“Three Iraqi soldiers, who were on guard at the airbase gate, were injured as a result of the shelling,” he said.

An anonymous defence official said: “There are American experts, trainers and advisers at the base.”

So far there was no claim of responsibility for the attack, which comes amid hightened tensions between the United States and Iran over the last two weeks.

Last week Iran launched missile attacks on two Iraqi airbases hosting US troops in retaliation for the killing of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad.

The US and Iran recently stepped back from the brink of war following the killing of Soleimani. A senior Iraqi leader of an Iran-backed militia was also killed.

Iran’s retaliatory attack for Soleimani’s death hit two Iraqi bases, Ain al-Asad and Erbil, where American troops are based.

United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo who condemned the attack on Twitter called for justice.

Smh. 4 Iraqi soldiers wounded. Was it Iraq that killed Soleimani? Or Canada or Ukraine? The Iranian response has been to kill or injure any one reachable in the vicinity, except for Trump's boys.

Is it because they are scared of pulling the tiger's tail?

I knew this would happen. Even if Iran back off for now, the shittte militias in neighboring countries will not back off. They want revenge on US at all cost.
