BEIRUT (AP) — Coalition forces were slightly injured in Iraq in a spate of drone attacks over the last 24 hours at U.S. bases in Iraq as regional tensions flare following the deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza.
Two drones targeted the al Asad airbase in western Iraq used by U.S. forces and one drone targeted a base in northern Iraq, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. U.S. forces intercepted all three, destroying two but only damaging the third, which led to minor injuries among coalition forces at the western base, according to a statement Wednesday by U.S. Central Command.
The U.S. official were not authorized to speak publicly on the attacks and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Beware the Ewoks.
Yeah, and exactly WHY are tensions flaring???
(rhetorical. Answer: Complicit media)
Notice how there's been ZERO complaints about 'misinformation' in the prior week...
1st strike, no advanced warning
Tehran, Qum, and whatever other relevant targets
Note: Article doesn’t mention Iran, but a second source says it was them
I wouldn’t be at all surprised. Iran bedeviled our troops in Iraq for years by helping to fund scum such as Muqtada al Sadr’s Mahdi Army.
The article quotes the terrorits as saying they take orders from Iran. Pretty bold of them.
What’s a “proportionte” response? 10 Tomahawks for every drone that attacks us? Drone factories 1st, but, killing Iran’s fuel(s) supply works too.
Talk about propaganda by omission.
Where would they get such monies?
/Rhetorical...
All because of effing lying media. 😠
The Obama/Biden Regime is an unmitigated disaster.
Iran threatened US troops in Syria and Iraq specifically within the last week.
I have a friend whose son was deployed to Iraq last week.
She’s freaking out over this. I’m trying to reassure her but dang, what do you say?
My son was deployed to Saudi Arabia 3 weeks ago. I’m helping DIL with 2.5 yr old granddaughter. They live a couple hours away from me.
Prayers for your friend’s son.
Try this.
Deuteronomy 32-35
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.’
Translation to Hillbillease: God is gonna get your terrorscum asses.
Prayers for All of Our Military and Families.
Emboldened by Islamic Fascistc Republic’s proxies: Hamas/PIJ/Hezbollah atrocities.
Operation Linebacker III, when it eventually comes, and it will.
Bomb them. Mine their harbors.
Ol Biden ain’t gonna let this pass. /s
Bolton approves.
