    • Abstract:
      The US conducted an airstrike in Iraq, killing the commander of an Iran-backed militia responsible for attacks on US forces. The Biden administration is targeting those responsible for the killing of three US soldiers last month. The strike resulted in no collateral damage or civilian casualties. This follows previous airstrikes against Iranian and Iran-backed forces in Iraq and Syria, which resulted in civilian casualties and raised concerns about regional security. US officials are warning against further escalation of the conflict. [Extracted from the article]
