At least five rockets were launched from Iraq’s town of Zummar towards a US military base in northeastern Syria on April 21, as per Iraqi officials. The attack against US forces was the first since early February when Iranian-backed groups in Iraq stopped their attacks against American troops. A Telegram group affiliated with Kataib Hezbollah said armed factions in Iraq had decided to resume attacks on American troops. Meanwhile, on April 21, President Bashar al-Assad said Syria held meetings “from time to time” with Washington, seeking to end a decade-long isolation. #iraq #syria #hezbollah #usa #middleeast Video: AP/AFP/Reuters 0:00 - Introduction 0:32 - Five Rockets Fired From Iraq Towards Us Military Base in Syria 1:08 - “failed Rocket Attack” Sparks Search Operation 5:00 - “there is Always Hope..” Assad on Mending Ties With West n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
