Soldiers have been told to take shelter at the #AinAlAsad Air Base in #Iraq's western #AnbarProvince. The #US supports Iraqi security forces & contributes to the #NATO mission from there.
Iranian missile strikes targeted the base in 2020, in retaliation for the US killing of Iranian General Qasem #Soleimani.
A rare ally of both the US & #Iran, Iraq hosts 2,500 US troops & has Iran-backed militias linked to its security forces.
