The strike, on a main thoroughfare in the Mashtal neighbourhood in eastern Baghdad, killed three members of the powerful Kataib Hezbollah militia, including a high-ranking commander, officials have said.

Days earlier, the US military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three US troops in Jordan in late January.

  1. When will they officially tell us that we are indeed at war? I think government needs to be a bit more honest with us and we need to be more honest with ourselves.

  2. 'The world is heading into chaos (a war of all against all), which poses a threat to the security of the United States. The United States itself is on the verge of a civil war. Unwilling to work, millions of migrants have flooded the country, which has placed a heavy burden on American taxpayers, causing a drop in living standards. Biden is the worst president in U.S. history. The Democratic Party is the worst party in the United States.'

  3. Every woman in Tehran wants to end the theictstic regime. Meanwhile, there's bands of Iran loyalists in other nations who can't wait to live in an oppressive dictatorship.
