Militia group says targeted US forces in western Iraq
[Rudaw] An Iraqi militia group on Friday claimed that it carried out a drone attack on United States troops in western Iraq, the latest in a string of assaults on US interests in Iraq and Syria because of Washington’s support for Israel.

The Islamic Resistance® in Iraq said on its Telegram channel on Friday that it used a drone to attack US troops based at al-Asad air base in Anbar province.

The same group on Thursday grabbed credit for a drone attack against US troops based near Erbil International Airport. The Pentagon said the "unsuccessful" assault only caused material damage.

Pentagon front man Brigadier General Pat Ryder said during a press briefing late Thursday that US forces in Iraq and Syria had been attacked with suicide drones and rockets 16 times between October 17 and 26.

"We know that these are Iranian-backed militia groups that are supported by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and of course we hold Iran responsible for these groups," he said.

Hours later, the US carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s against pro-Iran militia groups in eastern Syria in "response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks" targeting American troops, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
