On the night of January 20, local time, the United States was attacked at the Assad Air Base in Iraq, resulting in many US military personnel being injured, but no fatalities were reported.
It has been learned that the US military base was attacked by ballistic missiles and rockets, and on the same day, the Assad Air Base burst into flames, and although the US military intercepted most of the incoming missiles and rockets with full firepower, many of them still failed to intercept and successfully hit the US military base.
In addition to the damage to military installations, some US military personnel suffered some degree of concussion due to the missile impact and are being evaluated for brain damage.
U.S. military bases
Because the United States actively supports Israel's aggression against Gaza, the United States has become a public enemy of the Middle East countries, and as a result, US military bases in the Middle East have become targets for many armed forces. For example, since October 7 last year, there have been 143 attacks on US troops and bases in the Middle East.
However, the vast majority of attacks are carried out using rockets, and attacks using ballistic missiles are very rare, after all, ballistic missiles are such a sharp weapon that cannot be possessed by local forces. In the wake of the attack, an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia group quickly came forward and claimed responsibility.
It is also worth noting that relations between Iraq and the US military have also declined because of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. For example, Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani recently said that the government will set up a special committee as soon as possible, and the purpose of the committee is to end the military mission of the US military in Iraq and demand the withdrawal of all troops from Iraq.
Israel's atrocities in Gaza have caused serious dissatisfaction in the international community, and the United States' active involvement in and support for Israel has also caused the image and influence of the United States in the Middle East to plummet.
In fact, not only in the Middle East, but also in the war in Ukraine, for the vast majority of peace-loving countries, the United States, as a war maniac, is difficult to get everyone's recognition and support, although the United States claims to be a "global policeman" and will vigorously maintain world peace, but the maintenance of peace is manifested in practical actions, not by words, and the United States pays lip service to "defend peace", but its actions run counter to the defense of peace.
Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas said in an article that the conflict in Ukraine was provoked by the United States, and the United States hopes to weaken Russia's power and achieve the goal of isolating Russia, but the war in Ukraine has been fought so far, and the United States has not gotten the desired results, and Russia has achieved a strategic victory on the battlefield.
Douglas believes that the United States' policy of NATO's eastward expansion precisely means that the US military top brass does not understand the situation and has made the most wrong and stupid decision; the United States seems to have achieved some results, but in fact these achievements are insignificant, and the United States will pay a huge price for them.
In addition, he also mentioned that the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli war have shown that the United States is no longer a superpower and has lost its former status.
At present, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has fallen into a positional tug-of-war, but US aid to Ukraine has been suspended, and this is likely to be the last straw that crushes Ukraine. Although Israel has the upper hand in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the international prestige of Israel and the United States is declining rapidly, and the large number of attacks on the US military in the Middle East shows that the United States is already being shouted at by everyone in the Middle East.
The attack on the US military base by the Iraqi militia is a stern warning: If the United States continues to act arbitrarily in the Middle East and continues Israel's indiscriminate attacks on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, then there will be more missile attacks on the US military base, and the situation in the Middle East will become more chaotic and disorderly, and a chaotic and conflicted Middle East is not a good thing for the United States.
