IRAQ-IRAN-US-ISRAEL-WAR

The US flag flutters outside the US Embassy, seen across the Tigris River in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone on March 17, 2026. A security official said a drone and rocket attack targeted the US embassy in Baghdad early March 17, following a similar attack hours earlier. An AFP correspondent reported seeing black smoke rising after an explosion at the embassy compound. Iraq, long a proxy battleground between the United States and Iran, was quickly dragged into the Middle East war triggered by US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.
