Two United States airbases in Iraq came under eight separate attacks within a 24-hour period, according to a report published on March 14, 2026. The assaults, carried out between early Friday and early Saturday, were claimed by the Islamic Resistance, a coalition of Iran-aligned armed political groups in Iraq. In a statement, the group said its fighters launched drones and missiles targeting the Al-Harir and Al-Asad airbases, though no further details were provided.

The statement also claimed missile strikes on the US embassy in Iraq, which reportedly damaged the embassy’s helipad, according to Iraqi security officials. Neither the US Department of Defense nor the airbases issued any comment regarding the incidents.

The attacks followed the collapse of nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, which ended without agreement on February 27. Shortly afterward, the United States launched “Operation Epic Fury,” while Israel began “Operation Roaring Lion,” signaling heightened military activity in the region.
