Iranian-backed militias intensify attacks on US military bases in the Middle East
TL;DR
The White House has accused Iran of actively facilitating rocket and drone attacks on US military bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed proxy groups. The US believes these groups are supported by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian government, which also supports Hamas and Hezbollah. The Biden administration has directed the Department of Defense to prepare for more attacks and respond appropriately. The US has expressed concern about a potential escalation of these attacks and has deployed naval power to the Middle East in response.
