A drone targeting a U.S. diplomatic facility in Iraq on Tuesday allegedly retaliated by pro-Tehran militias amid escalating U.S.-Israeli and Iranian hostilities, The Washington Post reported, citing anonymous security sources.

The attack struck a logistical hub near Baghdad airport and military bases. Despite the damage, reports suggest no injuries. While the precise consequences remain unclear, the White House and Pentagon have not provided comments.

This strike potentially by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq reflects the broader conflict sparked by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, with casualties on both sides. The strategic confrontations began on February 28, fueling regional instability.
