    The U.S. has launched airstrikes against who they speculate sent the rocket attacks against them.

    One U.S. official said multiple strikes targeted Kataib Hezbollah weapons facilities inside Iraq. The strikes were joint operation with the British, that official said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because operations were still going on.

    Because some dogs just like to be kicked over and over again, militia jackasses rocketed the same base again.

    Another Middle East Crisis, Syrian Special "WMD"

    Had this been the mid-2000’s they would’ve all been wasted already. Chicken shit cowards taking advantage of the scaled back responses nowadays.

    Hate how they act like we don’t know exactly who it is doing this shit.

    The U.S. military is pulling out of three of their eight bases in Iraq.

    A ceremony will take place this week at al-Qaim, where the US will formally hand over equipment to the Iraqi army to help it ensure security in the area.

    It will end any US presence along the Iraqi side of the border with Syria.

    Although Iraqi security forces have also had a presence around al-Qaim, it is now mainly under the control of one of those militia groups, the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF).

    Iranian hostage and former FBI agent Robert Levinson has died after 13 years in custody.

    His family say he was working on behalf of an unauthorised CIA mission.

    He retired from the FBI in 1998, but had been working in Kish as a private investigator, looking at cigarette counterfeiting in the region, his wife says.

    US officials suspected he was kidnapped by Iranian intelligence forces to be used as a bargaining chip in dealings with Washington.

    The Levinson family statement on Wednesday said they had recently received information from US officials that had led them to conclude he had died in Iranian custody.

    Coast Guard is the OG "never go to the Middle East" branch.

    There's some units in Bahrain but they're all volunteer only for 1 year.

    Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi has said he escaped unhurt after a drone attack on his home inside Baghdad's high-security Green Zone.

    A drone laden with explosives struck the building, injuring six of his bodyguards in an apparent assassination attempt, officials said.

    Security sources say three drones were used in the attack, launched from near Republic Bridge on the River Tigris, but two were shot down.

    No-one has said they carried out the attack.
