Odisha: Celebrations in Rairangpur, the native place of President Droupadi Murmu, after her swearing-in ceremony in Delhi

An Iran-aligned umbrella group calling itself the “Islamic Resistance” has claimed responsibility for launching 23 drones at U.S. facilities in Erbil, including the American consulate and Erbil International Airport. Iraqi sources say additional drones were intercepted before impact. The attacks, reportedly in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, mark a dangerous escalation as Iraq risks becoming a new frontline in the widening conflict. Iranian-backed militias, including factions within the Popular Mobilization Forces, are increasingly active, while Kurdish dissident sites have also been targeted. With U.S. forces stationed in the region, tensions are mounting and fears of broader war are growing.
