The Iraqi government said it had taken a trailer with a rocket launcher the day after at least five US personnel were killed in an attack ensuing an escalation of the Middle East conflict and called it “reckless” actions taken against bases on its ground on Tuesday.
After the shooting of senior Hamas and Hezbollah militants, the place is furious about the Gaza battle and potential sanctions by Iran and its supporters.
” We reject all reckless behavior and practices targeting Syrian foundations, diplomatic missions, and the whereabouts of the international government’s experts, and everything that would increase pressure in the region”, the Iraqi military speech said.
According to US officials, the defense did not confirm any injuries to US staff, but two missiles were fired on Monday at Ain al-Asad air base in northern Iraq from Haditha, a village close to the base, according to Reuters.
A rocket rocket was attached to a smaller truck that had been taken. Eight unloaded missiles were dismantled, the speech said.
Without providing further details, the speech continued,” The formations in our security forces are now being pursued by them to bring them to justice.”
A unique supporter of both the US and Iran, Iraq hosts 2, 500 US soldiers and has Iran-backed armies linked to its security forces. It has witnessed escalating tit-for-tat episodes since the Israel-Hamas battle erupted in October.
