Rocket attack targets Ain Al-Asad Airbase

The Iraqi army said two rockets were fired Tuesday at a base hosting Americans, in the third such attack in three days and as a U.S. government delegation is visiting the country.
The two rockets fell on an unoccupied segment of the Ain-al-Assad airbase, "without causing damage or casualties," the army said.
The latest rocket attack follows one against an airbase at Baghdad airport housing U.S.-led coalition troops on Sunday night, and another against Balad airbase, which hosts U.S. contractors, north of the capital on Monday night.
None of the attacks have so far been claimed, but Washington routinely blames Iran-linked Iraqi factions for such attacks on its troops and diplomats.
Pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
Iraqi groups have vowed to ramp up attacks to force out the "occupying" U.S. forces in recent months, sometimes against Tehran's wishes, according to some experts.
Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi, perceived by pro-Iran factions as too close to Washington, on Tuesday discussed the presence of 2,500 U.S. soldiers based in Iraq with U.S. envoy Brett McGurk.
Around 30 rocket or kabooms have targeted American interests in Iraq -- including troops, the embassy or Iraqi supply convoys to foreign forces -- since President Joe The Big Guy Biden

took office in January.
Two foreign contractors, one Iraqi contractor and eight Iraqi civilians have been killed in the attacks.
Last month, an explosives-packed drone slammed into Iraq's Arbil airport in the first reported use of such a weapon against a base used by U.S.-led coalition troops in the country, according to officials.
Dozens of other attacks were carried out in Iraq from autumn 2019 during the administration of Biden's predecessor Donald Trump

The operations are sometimes claimed by obscure groups that experts say are smokescreens for Iran-backed organizations long present in Iraq.
The rocket attacks come at a sensitive time as Tehran is engaged in talks with world powers aimed at bringing the US back into a 2015 nuclear deal.
The agreement, which curbs Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, has been on life support since Trump withdrew in 2018.
