AC-130 Gunship Unleashes Fury On Iranian-Backed Terrorists In Iraq
The U.S. Military Strikes Back: AC-130 Gunship Takes Down Iranian-Backed Terrorist Group in Iraq
In a bold and decisive move, the U.S. military unleashed its fearsome AC-130 gunship on an Iranian-backed terrorist group operating in Iraq. This action came in response to the group’s ballistic missile attack on U.S. and coalition forces stationed at Al-Asad Airbase.
“On 21 Nov. an AC-130 gunship engaged individuals responsible for launching a missile attack on U.S. and Coalition personnel at Al Assad Airbase, Iraq,” U.S. Central Command stated. “The gunship maintained visual confirmation of the individuals from the time of the launch to the time of engagement. This strike resulted in several enemy casualties.”
The missile attack caused injuries to multiple U.S. personnel and inflicted damage to the base’s infrastructure.
A spokesperson from the Pentagon revealed that the gunship’s swift response was possible because it was already airborne when the attack occurred.
“We were able to identify the point of origin of these attacks because an AC-130 was up already in the area and therefore was able to respond,” the spokesperson explained. “They were able to take action because they saw the militants. They were able to keep an eye on the movement of these militants as they moved into their vehicles and that’s why they were able to respond.”
The U.S. did not disclose the specific terrorist organization responsible for the attack, but confirmed its affiliation with Iran.
Since October 17, U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria have faced a staggering 66 attacks. These incidents began just ten days after Hamas launched a brutal terror attack against Israel, resulting in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis, the injury of more than 5,300 individuals, and the kidnapping of over 240 people.
The AC-130 gunship, known as “the angel of death,” is one of the most formidable aerial weapons in the U.S. arsenal. Equipped with a Precision Strike Package, including a 30mm and 105mm cannon, as well as Standoff Precision Guided Munitions such as GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs, GBU-69 Small Glide Munitions, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, and AGM-176 Griffin missiles, it strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies.

What message does the engagement of the AC-130 gunship send to Iran and other state sponsors of terrorism
Esponse to the missile attack was part of a wider strategy to protect U.S. and coalition forces in the region. The AC-130 gunship, renowned for its precision and firepower, played a vital role in neutralizing the threat posed by the Iranian-backed terrorist group.
The decision to deploy the AC-130 gunship was made after careful consideration of the intelligence gathered on the group’s activities and its affiliation with Iran. The U.S. military took swift action to prevent further attacks and send a strong message to those who support and perpetrate acts of terrorism.
The AC-130 gunship, equipped with advanced sensors and armaments, offered the necessary capabilities to identify and engage the individuals responsible for the missile attack. Maintaining visual confirmation of the targets from the time of the launch to the time of engagement allowed for maximum accuracy and minimized collateral damage.
The successful strike resulted in several enemy casualties, significantly degrading the capabilities of the Iranian-backed terrorist group. This operation serves as a clear demonstration of the U.S. military’s commitment to the safety and security of its personnel and its determination to neutralize threats to regional stability.
The U.S. Central Command emphasized that the gunship’s engagement was conducted in accordance with international law and the inherent right of self-defense. It is important to note that the U.S. military’s response was not an act of aggression but rather a necessary and proportionate measure to protect its forces and prevent further attacks.
Furthermore, this operation sends a strong message to Iran and other state sponsors of terrorism that the U.S. will not tolerate their support for violent extremist groups. The U.S. military’s capability to swiftly respond to such threats serves as a deterrent, ultimately contributing to regional security.
In addition to the military’s swift response, diplomatic efforts are also underway to address the broader issue of Iranian-backed terrorism. The international community, including key allies in the region, stands united in condemning such attacks and supports the U.S. in taking necessary measures to protect its forces and uphold regional stability.
The U.S. remains committed to the safety and security of its personnel and will continue to monitor and respond to threats posed by Iranian-backed terrorist groups. The successful engagement of the AC-130 gunship underscores the military’s readiness and ability to protect its interests and those of its allies.
As the U.S. military strikes back against Iranian-backed terrorism, it reaffirms its dedication to combating extremism and safeguarding peace and stability in the region. The AC-130 gunship’s decisive role in neutralizing the threat serves as a powerful reminder of the military’s unwavering commitment to protect and defend against acts of terrorism.
