US EditionAirstrike in western Anbar kills 7 Iraqi soldiers, wounds 13
The airstrike targeted a base shared by Iraqi forces and Iran-aligned militias, killing seven and wounding 13 amid escalating US-Iran conflict in Iraq, the Defense Ministry said.
- On Wednesday, an airstrike struck the Habbaniyah military base in Anbar province, killing seven security personnel and wounding 13, according to the Iraqi Defense Ministry. The strike targeted the base's military healthcare clinic.
- Tuesday's strike at the same base killed 15 Popular Mobilization Forces fighters, prompting Iraq's government to grant the PMF the "right to respond" to any aircraft attacks against their bases.
- Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine previously acknowledged combat helicopters were carrying out strikes against Iran-aligned factions, though the United States has not regularly announced these operations.
- Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani instructed the Foreign Ministry to summon the United States chargé d'affaires in Baghdad. The Iraqi Defense Ministry called the assault a "heinous crime" violating international law.
- Iraq is increasingly becoming a battlefield between Iraqi armed factions and the United States amid the ongoing war with Iran. This escalating pattern raises the risk of wider hostilities across the region.
