Iran's Revolutionary Guards targeted a US military base in Iraq's Kurdistan region with five missiles on Tuesday. Simultaneously, Iran-backed militia groups suffered casualties in separate airstrikes in northern Iraq. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani conveyed to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Iraq should not serve as a launchpad for attacks in the Middle East conflict. Sudani explicitly rejected attempts to involve Iraq in ongoing regional wars and emphasized protecting Iraqi airspace, territory, and waters from military operations targeting neighboring countries. The strikes occurred amid escalating tensions following US and Israeli military actions against Iran beginning February 28.
