00:00 The United States has announced that it struck three sites in Iraq on Tuesday at dawn used

00:44 of the province of Babylon, south of Baghdad.

00:50 Four other people were injured in a second strike in Wasi, in the south of the country.

01:06 had carried out strikes necessary and provided on three sites used by the Qatar Hezbollah

01:11 and affiliated groups in Iraq.

01:17 Syria carried out by militias supported by Iran, including those of the Qatar Hezbollah, affiliated

01:22 groups and affiliated groups against the Air Force Base in Erbil earlier on Monday, he

01:52 This attack was carried out using an explosive drone and was claimed by the Islamic Resistance

01:56 Group in Iraq, a nebula of fighters from several pro-Iranian armed groups who are also affiliated

02:01 with the Hashd al-Shaabi, former paramilitaries integrated into the regular forces.

02:05 Attacks on pro-Iranian groups against American troops have multiplied in Iraq and

02:29 should continue," said Adrien Watson in a statement.

02:33 Washington has about 2,500 soldiers in Iraq and 900 in Syria, as part of a

02:38 "dispositive" intended to fight a possible resurgence of the Islamic State group.
