45 US soldiers injured in Syria and Iraq within one month

In a statement released by Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder, American forces have been subjected to a total of 38 attacks in Iraq and Syria by militias with ties to Tehran known as the “Islamic Resistance” since October 17.

According to Ryder, since

October 17, a total of 45 soldiers and personnel have suffered “minor injuries” during these attacks. The nature of the injuries mainly included traumatic brain injuries, sprains, injuries caused by loud noise, and other minor wounds.

On Monday evening, the “Islamic Resistance Militia in Iraq” announced that it had carried out six attacks on four American bases. These militias, which are considered loyal to Iran, carried out three attacks on the “Ain al-Assad” base in western Iraq and a base near Erbil airport in northern Iraq.

During his visit to Iraq, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken described the attacks on US troops in Iraq and Syria as “completely unacceptable.” The attacks have intensified, particularly after the outbreak of the conflict between Hamas and Israel.
