US forces are facing a wave of attacks across the Middle East as Iranian forces and their proxies test defences in response to Israel’s bombing of the Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday, officials said that at least two dozen US troops had been hurt in a wave of attacks on their bases in Iraq and Syria over the past week.

Tortoise understands that the attacks are more extensive than has been reported.

We’re always at war with someone. At least we can erase history now, we’ll look like the good guys 100 years from now.

Yes get our troops out of Iraq and Syria or we’re liable to have a repeat of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings or similar.

US “evacuates forward operating bases in Syria” as Iranian-backed attacks grow, prompting cheers from the Iran’s Mad Mullahs. Mission accomplished!
