ADAmerican officials have voiced concern about further attacks from Iran since the Jan. 7 ballistic missile strikes in Iraq. ADU.S. officials have also blamed Iranian-linked militias for smaller-scale rocket or mortar attacks on American facilities in Iraq since then. “I think Iran has seen that we do have will and that we’re willing to take action in our own interests,” McKenzie said. Speaking to sailors on Saturday via the ship wide-speaker system, McKenzie addressed ongoing tensions with Iran. Although Iran has conducted no major direct attacks since the missile strikes, U.S. officials say they believe it may attempt to do so later.
