Iran-backed militia behind attack on US troops in Iraq, officials say | LiveNOW from FOX

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke Tuesday from the U.S. Naval Academy, saying that an Iran-backed militia group was behind the recent rocket attack that injured seven U.S. personnel at the Ain-al-Asad air military base in western Iraq. Alongside Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Austin noted the U.S. military is still working to determine which group specifically carried it out, adding that the U.S. "will not tolerate attacks on our personnel in the region.” According to Fox, all seven injured personnel are in stable condition.

Tensions remain high in the Middle East after Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated last week in Tehran, causing the Iranian government to vow retribution against Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has not claimed responsibility for the death of Haniyeh, but Iran reported plans to launch attacks against Israel soon.

The question on the lips of every reasonable person is " WHO IS RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE "

[mhi-vqkc]

Iraq has a right to defend itself from foreign invaders.

[lisalee]

Would Someone PLEASE stand up and do something about the terrorists hurting Americans and innocent people!!! ENOUGH ALREADY

[charlesfender]

Austin go home and get out of the business that you evidently know nothing about!!

[sheliautley]

Let Israel alone. Israel has a right to protect themselves.

[nosouponhead]

I'm confused. Does the US not have weapons and not know where the Iranian government and military heads live?

[PandaBeafr]

It states that two were killed, not just injured.

[jondoe]

Saying we want to deescalate is the same thing as giving the terrorists a green light.

[judgetoogood]

President AUSTIN, is putting USA lives in danger. Especially the two aircraft carriers. 😊😊😊

[LD-jvvq]

Did this reporter just say "injured several pieces of US service members"?

[Sheikhassan]

Please, US military personnel in Syria are illegally occupying the nation, and shod have already been withdrawn. US military personnel in Iraq were requested by the Iraqi government to be withdrawn in 2022 and during this past June. There is no reason to have these troops in the nation.

Apparently, an EMPTY limo pulled up to the White House today and biden climbed out.

[doncampbell]

[AKSnowbat]

When your kids talk about world war 2 and wonder why no one did anything sooner.. the word was "appeasement".
So, let's just call this what it is and get our "Winston Churchill" in charge again so we can all go home.

[mohdmohd]

Iraq Parliment asked the US forces to leave Iraq years ago. What is US forces doing in Iraq?
