Multiple US soldiers injured by rocket strike at Ain al-Assad base in Iraq amid Middle East tensions.
Multiple US soldiers sustained injuries in a rocket strike at the Ain al-Assad military base in Iraq, a day after Secretary of Defence Antony Blinken warned about escalating conflict in the Middle East. The attack involved two Soviet-made Katyusha rockets, and the base has been subject to numerous previous attacks. This incident comes amid heightened tensions due to concerns of an Iranian strike on Israel, sparking fears of an all-out war. The US is actively engaged in diplomacy to help de-escalate the situation, and Blinken urged all parties involved to refrain from escalation and work towards easing tensions.
