Airstrikes on Syria-Iraq border target Iranian fuel convoy
Iran blames a deadly unidentified attack on a fuel convoy shortly after it entered Syria on the US, despite official denials.
Tension is rising again between Iranian-linked armed factions and the US after airstrikes near the Syrian-Iraqi border targeted a fuel convoy shortly before midnight on Tuesday.
No one claimed responsibility for the airstrikes, which killed more than ten people. Iraqi officials claim that the vehicles were carrying a legal shipment of fuel from Iran to Lebanon. Some reports claim that munitions were believed to be hidden in some of the vehicles.
