US President Donald Trump has said that Tehran should expect a bold US response if Iran or Iranian-backed groups attack American forces or assets in Iraq.
US-Iran tensions soared following the January 3 Washington-directed strike that killed Iranian General Qassim Soleimani outside Baghdad airport.
Trump said at an evening White House briefing that his administration has received intelligence that Iran is planning a strike, but did not provide additional details.
Iran has been blamed for an uptick in rocket attacks targeting Iraqi military bases hosting US troops. Three separate attacks in the span of a week struck Camp Taji and Basmaya bases, killed three coalition servicemen, including two Americans, and injured scores of others.
