Strikes near Iraqi border mark widening regional battle against Iran
Strikes widely attributed to Israel have hit an Iranian convoy near the Iraqi border after it crossed out of the country.
BAGHDAD — Iraq marks the geographical center of a larger fight that may be heating up again between Iran and its regional proxies on the one hand and the United States and Israel on the other.
There have been several recent attacks that remain unclaimed but that most observers attribute to Israel, both in Iran and near Iraq’s western border with Syria in territory under the de facto control of Iran-linked armed factions.
