BAGHDAD/AMMAN—U.S. diplomats and troops in Iraq and Syria were targeted in three rocket and drone attacks in the past 24 hours, U.S. and Iraq officials said on Wednesday, including at least 14 rockets hitting an Iraqi air base hosting U.S. forces, wounding two American service members.
While there were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attacks—part of a wave targeting U.S. troops or areas where they are based in Iraq and Syria—analysts believed they were part of a campaign by Iranian-backed militias.
