ISTANBUL
Iraqi factions carried out 21 attacks on US bases in Iraq and the region in the last 24 hours, the group known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said in a statement early Tuesday.
The statement said armed factions conducted the attacks using drones and rockets, without providing specific details.
Hostilities in the region have escalated since Israel and the US launched joint attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, so far killing over 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has responded with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
