Iran launched missile attacks on US-led forces in Iraq, including the al-Asad air base, in retaliation for the US drone strike on an Iranian commander whose killing raised fears of a wider Middle East conflict.
About:
Ayn al Asad is an Iraqi Armed Forces and United States armed forces base located in Al Anbar Governorate of Iraq. The base is also used by British armed forces in Iraq.
It was the second largest US military airbase in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On January 7, 2020, the Al Asad Airbase came under a rocket attack in retaliation for the killing of Quds leader Qasem Soleimani in a 2020 U.S. airstrike.
Geologically, the base resides in the Al-Ḥammād sector of the Syrian Desert, composed mostly of a rock and gravel steppe.
