The United States will not tolerate attacks on American troops in the middle East, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday, after rocket fire in Iraq wounded seven US personnel.
The Monday attack was the third in just over three weeks on Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq, which hosts American troops as well as other personnel from the US-led coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group.
A US defense official said earlier in the day that the attack wounded five American military personnel and two contractors, all of whom are in stable condition.
