MILITARY BASE
Three rockets landed on a military base hosting U.S. forces north of Baghdad late on Monday, an Iraqi military statement said, without providing further details. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
U.S. officials said last month there was an increased threat from Iran-backed militias against U.S. interests in Iraq, and the U.S. embassy in Baghdad evacuated hundreds of staff.
The United States is discussing options with its allies on how to protect international shipping in the Gulf of Oman following the recent attacks, two senior Trump administration officials said last week.
A senior Gulf official said Washington was considering establishing a military coalition, including other nations, to protect oil tankers.
"We hope they will implement this proposal soon," said the official, who said he had been briefed by a U.S. official and had heard details from Gulf "partners".
