Iraq declared on Tuesday that it opposes any 'reckless' actions aimed at Iraqi bases, diplomatic missions, and outposts of the US-led coalition. On Monday, at least five US personnel sustained injuries in an assault on a military base in Iraq, according to US officials speaking to Reuters. This comes as the Middle East anticipates a potential surge in attacks by Iran and its affiliates in response to the recent elimination of high-ranking members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
