2023-11-17
Avast ye scallywags! Tidings be grim! News be spreadin' of fresh plunderin' by landlubbin' terrorists! They be attackin' American bases with them one-way drones, leavin' one brave soldier injured. Aye, 'tis a report from the Department of Defense, mark me words!
In a recent report from the Department of Defense, it has been revealed that terrorists launched attacks on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria. Using one-way drones, these attacks resulted in one soldier being injured. This brings the total number of attacks on U.S. coalition forces to 60 since October 17. Despite the high number of attacks, the Pentagon has stated that all injuries were minor and the troops will be able to return to their duties.The terrorist groups responsible for these attacks are believed to be Iran-backed. They have been launching attacks almost daily since October 17, which coincided with a blast at a Gaza hospital that caused widespread protests across the region. The U.S. has repeatedly warned these groups to stop escalating the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as they have been using these attacks to fuel the tension.
Specifically, one-way drones targeted Al Harir air base in Erbil, Iraq, causing damage but no casualties. Al Asad air base in Iraq was also attacked, but there were no injuries or infrastructure damage. In Syria, a multiple one-way drone attack at Tall Baydar resulted in minor injuries to one service member who was able to return to duty.
Senior Pentagon officials have stated that these attacks bear "Iranian fingerprints." They have pointed out that Iran is funding, equipping, and guiding various groups across the Middle East, including Lebanese Hezbollah militia groups in Iran, Syria, and Yemen. The defense official emphasized that the recent surge in activity from these groups clearly shows Iran's involvement.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is important for U.S. forces to remain vigilant and prepared for any further attacks. The U.S. government will likely continue to pressure Iran to cease their support for these terrorist groups and prevent any further escalation of the conflict.
