The United States is moving air missile defense systems into Iraq, the military confirmed, hours after President Donald Trump said intelligence indicated Iran is planning a “sneak attack“ on U.S. troops in Iraq.
“The U.S. is moving defensive systems into Iraq to protect Iraqi, coalition, and U.S. service members from a variety of air threats seen at Iraqi bases that host coalition troops,” Capt. Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said in a statement on April 2.
