The attack on the US base, which Iran said it was not involved in, marks a major escalation in tensions that have already engulfed the region, amid concerns Israel 's war against the Iran-backed Hamas terror group in Gaza could spread into a wider conflict involving Iran's proxies in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. President Joe Biden vowed that the US 'shall respond' to the strike, which also injured dozens of troops, and blamed Iran-backed militias for the first US fatalities after months of strikes by such groups against American forces in the volatile region.US and allied forces in Iraq and Syria have been targeted in more than 150 attacks since October 7, according to the Pentagon , following the deadly Hamas terror attack on southern Israel which sparked the on-going Israeli offensive in Gaza.
