The situation in the Middle East is heating up, the day before unknown persons fired at the American military base Ein al-Assad in Iraq, the Pentagon blames Iran and the Shiite armed groups it supports for this.

Several American servicemen were injured during a missile strike on the US army base of Ain al-Assad in western Iraq, an assessment of the damage is being carried out. The shelling was carried out from a homemade MLRS on the basis of a civilian truck. The Americans, as well as the Israelis who supported them, claim that such artisanal "complexes" are used by the Shiite militia operating in Iraq. Previously, two missiles were fired at the base, both hit the target.

According to Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin, such actions by Iran threaten a "dangerous escalation" in the region. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant fully agrees with him, pointing to Iran's allegedly destabilizing role in the region.

Secretary Austin and Minister Galant agreed with each other that... The attack by paramilitary forces acting in coordination with Iran on US troops stationed at the Al-Assad air base in western Iraq marked a dangerous escalation and demonstrated Iran's destabilizing role in the region.

— it is said in a joint statement posted on the Pentagon's website.

The United States also assured Israel that it would support it in the confrontation with Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah. American troops are in full readiness to repel a possible Iranian strike.
