The United States has been conducting airstrikes in Iraq against Islamic State. According to the Associated Press a round of airstrikes were conducted yesterday to assist Iraqi forces in regaining control of the Mosul dam. Senator Chuck Grassley shared he supports President Barack Obama’s current actions in Iraq, with humanitarian aid and airstrikes against Islamic State. Grassley added he believes the U.S. should support the Kurds in the region with military material and only U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq should be those who protect our embassy personnel.
