A series of attacks on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias, including Kataib Hezbollah, have led to multiple U.S. service member injuries and a retaliatory response from U.S. forces. The initial rocket attack targeted a coalition base in Green Village, northeast Syria. Subsequent reports confirmed that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for a rocket/drone attack against U.S. forces near the Al-Omar Oil Field in northeastern Syria, marking at least 120 attacks on U.S. bases in the region. A similar attack occurred on the Harir base in Erbil, northern Iraq, resulting in casualties. The U.S. Central Command confirmed that U.S. Air Force aircraft conducted retaliatory strikes on Iranian-backed forces in Iraq in response to the attack on Al-Harir Airbase, which resulted in several injuries to American service members. The Pentagon reported that three U.S. personnel were injured in the Erbil Air Base attack, with one service member in critical condition. Additional airstrikes by U.S. forces targeted Iranian proxy group facilities in Iraq, including the city of Hillah, causing multiple casualties and damage to buildings. The Baghdad government condemned the U.S. attack, which resulted in the death of one Iraqi serviceman and injuries to 18 others, labeling it a 'clear hostile act' and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty. Tensions continue to escalate with further reports of large explosions near the Al-Asad airbase in western Iraq, which houses U.S. troops. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that the U.S. carried out precision strikes against Iranian-backed militia groups in Iraq, including Kataib Hezbollah.
