Biden needs to respond to rocket attacks on US forces in Iraq - analysis

The US is not being hasty in saying who did it. This is because naming names requires actually doing something in response.

Most details of the attack that targeted US forces stationed at the al-Asad base in Iraq on Wednesday have been revealed.

A truck was used,10 rockets were placed in the truck’s bed, and then a false bed was put on top to obscure them, a method previously used by pro-Iranian militias. The rockets were 122 mm. and are an Iranian type. Iran was likely behind the attack by activating one of its local militias.

But key questions remain over which militia carried out the attack, and what the militias expect will come next.
