Iranian drone attacked US base in

According to local media reports, an Iranian drone carried out an air strike on the American military base 'Victoria', located near Baghdad airport in Iraq. There has been no official confirmation from U.S. authorities so far. The base, which serves as a logistical support point for Southern Partner forces, is situated in an area where active operations supporting government forces are ongoing. The attack on the building and warehouses may have caused casualties and serious injuries among personnel.

The growing tension between Iran and the United States in Iraq, along with Iran's increased use of unmanned aerial vehicles, heightens the overall risk of military escalation in the region.
