"Escalating Tensions: US Personnel Injured in Attack on Al-Asad Air Base in Iraq"
US personnel were injured in a ballistic missile attack on Al-Asad Air Base in Iraq, with some sustaining minor injuries and being evaluated for traumatic brain injuries. The attack, claimed by an Iranian-backed militia group, comes amid increased tensions in the region and follows multiple threats and attacks on US and coalition forces by Iranian-backed Shia militias. The US faces threats not only in Iraq but also in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden from Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, prompting a series of strikes targeting Houthi assets.
