Marisa Roberts, a spokeswoman for CJTFOIR, the Baghdad-based U.S. military headquarters overseeing the fight against Islamic State. &#8220;No Coalition troops were injured. We appreciate the Iraqi Security Forces immediate response and investigation. Coalition forces are in Iraq at the invitation of the Government of Iraq to defeat ISIS remnants; we will not be deterred by these attacks and maintain the right to defend ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was no immediate claim of responsibility nor was it clear if any of the rockets struck the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraq announced victory over ISIS two years ago, but the extremist group i<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2019\/11\/04\/artillery-fire-lands-near-us-troops-in-syria\/\" target=_blank>s still active through sleeper cells <\/a>and frequently mount attacks on Iraqi security forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some hard-line Iraqi militias loyal to Iran have recently threatened to carry out attacks against Americans in the country. The U.S. maintains about 5,000 troops in Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">American forces withdrew from Iraq in 2011 but returned in 2014 at the invitation of the government to help battle ISIS after it seized vast areas in the north and west of the country, including Iraq\u2019s second largest city, Mosul. A U.S.-led coalition provided crucial air support as Iraqi forces regrouped and drove ISIS out in a costly three-year campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack on Friday came as large parts of Iraq, including the capital of Baghdad and Shiite-majority southern provinces, are engulfed in anti-government protests. Rockets have been fired near the U.S. Embassy in the heavily fortified Green Zone in the Iraqi capital on several occasions recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mosul, which was largely destroyed during the war against the Islamic State group, lies north of Baghdad and has not seen any anti-government protests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rocket
