The US launched airstrikes against Iranian forces and militias in Syria and Iraq in retaliation for a drone attack that killed three American soldiers, escalating tensions in the region.
The strikes targeted locations linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force and Iran-funded militant groups.
The EU urged de-escalation, and more US strikes are expected in the coming days.
The conflict has its roots in the Hamas attack on Israel, with the US increasingly involved in the region’s turmoil.
