In a recent development, sources within Iraq have revealed that US forces have taken the precautionary step of cutting "information exchange channels" with Iraqi army leaders at the Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq. This move comes in response to a series of armed attacks that have occurred in the vicinity of the base.

The sources explained that the decision to sever these communication channels was prompted by the fact that a limited number of faction attacks had successfully reached precise targets inside the Ain al-Assad base. The United States believes that the leakage of their coordinates within the base is due to insiders who may be assisting the groups responsible for these attacks.

A senior Iraqi officer, however, contradicted these claims, denying that the Iraqi forces' connection with American advisors and trainers at Ain al-Assad had been cut off. According to the senior officer, the training program is continuing without interruption.

At the moment, there has been no official comment from the international coalition forces stationed in Iraq regarding this development.

The most recent attack on the Ain al-Assad base occurred on Tuesday when two drones targeted it with missiles, fortunately resulting in no injuries or damage, as reported by Reuters. Additionally, on the previous Monday, four Katyusha rockets were fired from a desert area approximately 25 kilometers north of the base. While two Iraqi army officials suggested that these rockets may have fallen far from the barracks, Iraqi sources confirmed that one or two of the attacks achieved a higher degree of accuracy.

These incidents follow a series of attacks on the Ain al-Assad base since the start of the war in Gaza. Drones and missiles have been employed in these attacks, with the United States expressing growing concern as some of them have reached an unprecedented level of accuracy.
