The attack is one of dozens over the past two months. Iranian proxies have launched nearly 100 attacks on a number of U.S. targets around the Middle East since Hamas launched its war on Israel October 7.
Attacks against US forces since 10/17 entering triple digits and now appear to include our embassy compound in Iraq.
