American forces at Al-Asad Air Base in western Iraq came under attack on Tuesday, marking the second such incident since February 4th.

Washington had previously carried out air raids on Iran-backed targets in early February in retaliation for the attacks, which had injured but not killed any US personnel. The recent attack, which did not cause any casualties or damage, remains unclaimed.
