Gen. Pat Ryder said that between October 17-24, US troops in Iraq were targeted 10 times, while those in Syria experienced three attacks during the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pentagon officials have attributed all the attacks to Iran, although there is currently no evidence directly linking Iran to these assaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Shella Abdulhalim<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US troops in the Middle East sustained brain injuries in #Iran proxy attacks.
