U.S. bases are being attacked in the Middle East, with the latest drone attack targeting a base hosting U.S. troops in Iraq on the morning of Oct. 31. It is the 25th attack on U.S. forces in two weeks.

U.S. Defense officials say that Iran is “actively facilitating” the assaults, while Iran’s Foreign Ministry says that the attacks are a result of “wrong American policies” that need to be corrected.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanani urged the U.S. to stop backing Israel, saying “you reap what you sow.”

According to the Department of Defense, “Iranian-backed militia groups” are responsible for at least two dozen attacks on U.S. forces.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi denies that Iran has any direct involvement in the attacks on U.S. bases, but says it’s Iran’s duty to support the resistance groups responsible.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called Iran out, explicitly blaming the country for the attacks.

Iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in these attacks against our forces. We will not let them.

Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense

“Iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in these attacks against our forces,” Austin said. “We will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people.”

On Thursday, Oct. 26, U.S. forces conducted “self-defense airstrikes” on two of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard facilities in Syria used by Iran’s affiliated groups. Five attacks on U.S. bases have occurred in response to the retaliatory strikes.

Twenty-four troops have been injured and one American contractor died in the attacks on U.S. bases.

Iran financially and militarily supports Hamas — the group responsible for the terrorist attack on Israel. As Israel begins to ground operations into Gaza, Iran’s army chief, speaking for Hamas, said that they are ready for any ground invasion.
