US deploys Patriot air defense system to Iraq |
2020-03-31 |
[Rudaw] The United States has deployed Patriot air defense batteries to Iraqi bases to protect American troops recently targeted by Iranian missiles, US and Iraqi military sources told AFP Monday. Washington and Baghdad had been negotiating the placement of the defense system since January, when Tehran fired ballistic missiles at the western Iraqi base of Ain al-Asad, which hosts American and other foreign troops. It was not immediately clear whether the US had ultimately received the Iraqi government's approval. |
