"US Drone Strike in Baghdad Targets Iran-Backed Militia Leader, Escalating Tensions"

A drone strike in Baghdad killed four members of an Iran-aligned Iraqi militia and wounded six, with Iraqi authorities blaming the U.S.-led coalition. The attack targeted a building used by the militia group al-Nujaba'a, which operates with the authorization of Iraq's Prime Minister. The U.S. has troops in the region to combat ISIS, but faces opposition from Iran-aligned groups. Local militia commanders have threatened retaliation, and the U.S. has faced frequent attacks in Iraq and Syria. The incident is under government investigation, and there has been no immediate comment from Washington.
