The Trump administration has
reacted to the missile attack by Iran on US bases in Iraq.
Iran had announced that it
carried out “a successful operation called Operation Martyr Soleimani, with the
code ‘Oh Zahra”.
The facilities include Erbil in
northern Iraq and Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq.
It is not yet clear if there are
any casualties.
“We are aware of the reports of
attacks on US facilities in Iraq,” said White House Press Secretary, Stephanie
Grisham.
“The President has been briefed
and is monitoring the situation closely and consulting with his national
security team.”
The Pentagon also confirmed the
attacks in a statement.
“It is clear that these missiles
were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting
U.S. military and coalition personnel at Al-Assad and Irbil”, it said.
The statement said the department
is still conducting initial damage assessments.
