Iranian missiles kill 4 civilians, injure 6 others near the US Consulate in Iraq
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.
