Iran’s Proxies Scale Back Attacks on U.S. Bases

New York Times: “Initially, there were regional concerns that the tit-for-tat violence would lead to an escalation of the Middle East conflict. But since the Feb. 2 U.S. strikes, American officials say, there have been no attacks by Iran-backed militias on American bases in Iraq and only two minor ones in Syria. Before then, the U.S. military logged at least 170 attacks against American troops in four months, Pentagon officials said.”

“The relative quiet reflects decisions by both sides and suggests that Iran does have some level of control over the militias.”
