US military base in Iraq’s Al Anbar comes under rocket attack

TEHRAN, Dec. 27 (MNA) – A rocket attack has been delivered on a US military base in Iraq’s Al Anbar province, media outlets reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, three powerful blasts were heard at the US military facility.

The consequences of the attack are unknown at this point, TASS reported.

On Tuesday, the US fighter jets attacked several headquarters of Iraqi Resistance forces known as Hash A-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units-PMU) and martyred one PMU member plus injured 18 Iraqi forces.

In a statement today on Tuesday, the media office of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani described the early morning attack by American fighter jets on several headquarters of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units and security forces as "a clear hostile" and "counterproductive" act.

Iraqi resistance groups have conducted similar attacks against US positions in Iraq and neighboring Syria ever since the Israeli regime began its war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The groups say their attacks are in retaliation for America’s support of the Israeli regime’s crimes against people in Gaza.  

After the martyrdom of Resistance commanders who led the anti-terrorism fight in Iraq and Syria, the Iraqi parliament approved a piece of legislation to call for the withdrawal of American troops from the country, a demand that the US troops have yet to meet.
