Nearly a dozen U.S. troops were injured in the Jan. 8 Iranian missile attack on Iraqi bases, report says
Eleven U.S. service members were injured in the Jan. 8 Iranian missile attack on Iraq’s al-Asad air base, according to media reports Thursday.
Iran fired missiles at two military bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq on Jan. 8 in retaliation for the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, a top Revolutionary Guard commander. Senior military officials in the Trump administration said there were no immediate reports of American casualties while President Donald Trump tweeted “All is well!” and “so far, so good” in terms of casualties.
“When deemed fit for duty, the service members are expected to return to Iraq following screening,” Caggins said.
