US soldiers at the Taji military base north of Baghdad, one of the sites in Iraq highlighted by a map showing paths taken by exercise tracking app users AFP/AHMAD AL-RUBAYEWASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran or its proxies planned a sneak attack on US targets in Iraq, and warned they would pay a"very heavy price" but gave no details.
The official said intelligence threads about a potential attack by Iran or Iran-backed forces had been building for some time. The official did not disclose intelligence on the timing or precise locations of any attack. Worsening tensions, a Jan 3 US drone strike in Iraq killed Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, as well as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who founded Iraq's Shi’ite Kataib Hezbollah militia after the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
