The airstrike and the bombing in Iran, which killed 84 people, have heightened tensions across the Middle East.

"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.

"US-Led Drone Strike in Baghdad Kills Militia Leader, Escalates Iraq Tensions"

An airstrike in central Baghdad killed Mushtaq Taleb al-Saidi, a leader of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Force, escalating regional tensions amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Iraqi military blamed the International Coalition Forces for the attack, which also killed another militia official and wounded five. The U.S. has not commented, and the strike increases pressure on U.S. forces to leave Iraq. The PMF has been involved in over 100 attacks on U.S. troops in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel, and the Iraqi Prime Minister has expressed intentions to end the coalition forces' presence in Iraq.

"Strikes in Syria Target Iran-Backed Militias, Killing 10 Across Border Regions"

Unidentified aircraft launched airstrikes on Iran-aligned militia facilities and a truck convoy in the Syrian town of Albukamal, resulting in at least four deaths. The strikes destroyed several trucks and buildings used by the militias. While the local PMF commander denied any militia casualties near the Syrian borders, the influence of Iranian-backed fighters in Syria has been a concern, with Israel frequently targeting these groups. The U.S. military has stated it was not involved in these particular strikes.
