Several US officials have reportedly told CNN that the Islamic Republic of Iran is behind sophisticated rocket attacks against US-Iraqi joint military facilities.
“We take these incidents seriously as do our Iraqi security forces partners, who are investigating these events. We have made clear that attacks on US and Coalition personnel and facilities will not be tolerated and we retain the right to defend ourselves,” Pentagon spokesperson Cdr. Sean Robertson told CNN in a statement.
There have been at least nine rocket attacks against US-Iraqi joint facilities in the last five weeks. The latest of such attack carried out on Monday.
Iran has denied the involvement. According to the CNN report, the type of rockets used to attack US and Iraqi facilities are increasingly sophisticated.
There have been no injuries or death among US forces due to the attacks, but numbers of Iraqi soldiers were wounded.
