US Spooked by Mojtaba? Trump’s War Ending Claim Crumbles as Iran Hits US Diplomatic Sites in Gulf The conflict in the Middle East has escalated to one of its most intense phases, with Iranian drones and missiles striking US military personnel and facilities across the region. US officials confirmed that Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing military campaign, has resulted in significant casualties. Over the first 10 days of the operation, approximately 140 American service members were wounded, including eight with severe injuries. At least seven US troops have been killed in Iranian retaliatory attacks targeting bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In Iraq, a drone strike hit the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, a critical US diplomatic logistics hub located near the airport. The attack occurred after six drones were launched at the compound, with five intercepted and one successfully hitting near a guard tower. US officials have linked the attack to Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq militias. The incident highlights the growing intensity of the conflict, with both sides escalating their military actions. The Pentagon reported that Iranian retaliatory strikes have targeted US facilities, marking a significant shift in the conflict’s trajectory. Washington has responded with intensified airstrikes and naval operations, but the scale of Iranian attacks has raised concerns about the effectiveness of US countermeasures. The violence has also drawn international attention, with global leaders expressing alarm over the potential for further escalation. The situation has complicated efforts to de-escalate tensions, particularly as US President Donald Trump’s earlier claims about ending the war have been undermined by the recent attacks.#us #iran #iraq #saudi_arabia #iranian_militias
