Attacks on US troops in Middle East resume

Category: Military News

The U.S. conducted a defensive airstrike in Babil Province, Iraq, targeting militants attempting to launch drone attacks on U.S. forces. This action follows a resurgence of attacks by Iran-aligned militias against U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria, particularly after the recent Gaza conflict. Despite previous strikes by the Biden administration, the militias continue to pose a threat, indicating that attacks on U.S. personnel are likely to persist as long as they remain in the region.
