Iranian-aligned Telegram channels report fresh drone strikes hitting the US embassy in Baghdad and targets in Erbil, continuing the ongoing regional escalation.
Iranian-aligned media channels are reporting new drone strikes against US and allied positions in Iraq as regional hostilities continue to expand.
According to the pro-Iranian conflict tracker خبرفورینیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا, an aerial attack struck the Iraqi capital. The channel reported the moment a drone hit the US embassy in Baghdad.
Simultaneously, further strikes hit northern Iraq. The کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 (IRGC News Channel), an outlet that reflects the editorial posture of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, announced a drone strike on the location of terrorists in Erbil, Iraq. The channel uses this adversarial framing to describe US forces or allied regional factions operating in Iraqi Kurdistan.
These attacks in Iraq take place amid severe, wider regional warfare. Following a wave of extensive joint Israeli and US CENTCOM strikes on Iranian military assets and Kharg Island oil infrastructure on March 16, Iran has mounted massive retaliatory operations across the Middle East. The ongoing counter-strikes have already included cluster munition attacks on Tel Aviv and a sustained campaign against US military outposts in Erbil, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
Sources employ standard Iranian state media terminology, such as labeling opposition or allied forces in Erbil as terrorists, which has been preserved in the text without sanitization to accurately convey the IRGC's editorial framing.
