"Iran Launches Missile Strikes in Iraq and Syria, Escalating Regional Tensions"
TL;DR Summary
Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched missile strikes in Iraq and Syria, targeting what they called "anti-Iranian terrorist groups" in response to recent attacks in Iran. The strike in Erbil, Iraq, killed at least four civilians, while separate ballistic missile attacks hit targets in Syria connected to the Islamic State. The U.S. strongly condemned the attacks, and the Kurdistan region's security council called it a violation of sovereignty. The strikes have heightened tensions in the Middle East, raising the risk of greater regional violence.
