Eleven U.S. service members were injured in Iran's rocket attack targeting two Iraqi military bases last week in retaliation for the killing of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command revealed Thursday night.
All of the injuries occurred at Al Assad Air Base, with the service members subsequently flown out and treated for concussion symptoms, the official said. President Trump and U.S. officials had said earlier that no Americans were killed or injured in the Jan. 8 attack. Meanwhile, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, addressed Friday prayers in Tehran for the first time since 2012 and used the platform to praise the country's retaliatory strike.
