    The Washington Post is reporting, citing three anonymous Pentagon officials, that American troops in the Middle East were not targeted during the Iranian missile attack in Israel.

    Iraqi group linked to Iran have previously fired rockets at military bases housing US soldiers in Iraq and Syria.

      Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari just held a televised address.

      In it, he said the Israeli military is “fully prepared to defend and retaliate” to the Iranian attack, stressing that it would be in a “timely manner”.
