Several U.S. personnel were injured following a suspected rocket attack Monday against U.S. and Coalition forces at Al-Assad Air Base in western Iraq, a Department of Defense spokesperson told ABC News.
"Initial indications are that several U.S. personnel were injured," the spokesperson said. "Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment. We will provide updates as more information becomes available."
A U.S. official confirmed to ABC News that two rockets were launched at the base.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed on the attack, according to a White House readout of a Situation Room meeting on Monday amid the ongoing tension in the Middle East.

WTF are we still doing in Iraq?
The Iraqi government, which is loyal to Iran, doesn't want us there (just our tax payer dollars); and is doing nothing to prevent Iranian militias from entering and operating freely about the country.
Being target practice for Iranian rockets is a strategy.
Biden will not be happy when he wakes up tomorrow and learns of this. He’ll probably rage whisper at Netanyahu in response.
There has to be a way to Blame Trump for Biden’s foreign policy errors.
