A drone has reportedly struck a major US diplomatic facility in Iraq, believed to be in retaliation for the US-Israeli war on Iran. The strike targeted the diplomatic support center near Baghdad airport and military bases. The State Department issued an internal alert stating that individuals at the facility were ordered to "duck and cover". The attack is likely to have been carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq. The US and Israel began their attacks on Iran on February 28, with Iran responding with its own strikes on Israel and US bases in the Middle East.
