“Iraqi armed groups announced a drone attack on the Al-Shaddadi and Al-Omar bases in Syria,” the report said. As Regnum reported, on January 20, the Ain al-Assad military base in western Iraq, which is used by the forces of the international coalition led by the United States, was attacked by more than 20 missiles. The shelling was carried out by Iraqi Shiite military groups. The rockets were fired from the nearby al-Baghdadi area in western Al-Anbar province. The US Central Command later clarified that several American troops could have been injured in the attack. Another American base near Erbil airport in Iraqi Kurdistan was attacked by drone on January 18. Al Arabiya TV channel reported that the sirens went off at the US Consulate due to the drone attack. Near the air harbor, local residents heard the sounds of explosions. After these attacks, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and RT television channel Margarita Simonyan spoke about the danger of an escalation of the situation in the Middle East. According to her, the conflict could “escalate seriously” and become a prerequisite for a third world war, which could grow to incredible proportions. “Humanity still has to live to see the planned US presidential elections in November,” Simonyan said. | |
