An Iraqi air force officer and three enlisted men were wounded Sunday in a rocket attack targeting Balad Air Base just north of Baghdad, where American trainers were present until recently, Iraqi military officials said. Some of the rockets fell on a restaurant inside the base, located some 50 miles north of Baghdad, the officials added. “Outraged by reports of another rocket attack on an Iraqi airbase,” he tweeted. The base had hosted American trainers, advisers and a company providing maintenance services for F-16 aircraft, according to an Iraqi defense official. Iran’s retaliatory attack for Soleimani’s death hit two Iraqi bases, Ain al-Asad and Irbil, where American troops are based.
