"Multiple US Personnel Injured in Iraq Air Base Attack Linked to Iran-Backed Militias"

U.S. and Iraqi service members were injured in a missile attack by Iranian-backed militants on the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq. Most missiles were intercepted, but some hit the base. An unknown number of U.S. personnel are being evaluated for traumatic brain injuries. This attack is part of a series of back-and-forth attacks between Iran-aligned groups and U.S. forces in the region, raising concerns about a wider war in the area.
