An Iranian missile struck near the US consulate in Iraq on Tuesday, killing four civilians and injuring six. Iran claimed it targeted an alleged Israeli spy HQ and an Islamic State-linked site in Syria. The US condemned it as reckless, hitting back at Yemen-based Houthis. This marks the third assault on the Iranian-backed group. Recent strikes also include intercepting a ship with Iranian weaponry, leading to a Navy SEALs mission. Unfortunately, high waves knocked two SEALs into the water during the transfer and both are currently missing.
