Iran-directed militants have attacked U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria 19 times in the past eight days

  “U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 19 times in the past eight days, by Iran-directed militants,” Charles Lister of the Middle East Institute pointed out Thursday on social media. Those attacks have been delivered using suicide drones, rockets, and mortars.

 According to Lister, “Iran-directed militants have attacked U.S. bases 103 times since Joe Biden became President,” and nearly 20 percent of those have occurred in the last eight days.

 And as far as what’s publicly known, “the U.S. has responded five times,” to those attacks, Lister said; and all responses have taken place inside Syria, he added.
