US President Donald Trump is closely monitoring the attack on US facilities in Iraq and is consulting with the national security team regarding the situation, said White House on Wednesday. "We are aware of the reports of attacks on US facilities in Iraq.

Multiple reports said that Iran has launched multiple rockets at US' Al Asad airbase, which houses the US forces.
