Several U.S. personnel are believed to be injured following a suspected rocket attack on U.S. and coalition forces at Al Asad Airbase in Iraq, a defense official confirmed to NBC News. Additional details are not currently available as base staff are conducting a post-attack damage assessment, according to the official. President Joe Biden has been briefed on the matter, a White House official said.
Biden posted on the social media platform X on Monday afternoon about what he and Vice President Kamala Harris were told in the Situation Room: “We received updates on threats posed by Iran and its proxies, diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions, and preparations to support Israel should it be attacked again,” the post said.
