White House Does Not Rule Out More Military Strikes After Rocket Attack in Iraq
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House on Wednesday did not rule out a military response to a
rocket attack on a military base housing U.S. troops in Iraq. A U.S.
civilian contractor died from a heart attack, but no other casualties
were reported. This comes almost one week after Biden ordered a strike
on "Iranian-backed militant groups" in eastern Syria without
congressional approval.
