Overview

  • Unidentified drones struck radar installations early on June 24 at the Taji military base north of Baghdad and at the Imam Ali airbase in Dhi Qar province.
  • Iraqi security officials confirmed material damage at both sites but reported no injuries.
  • The assaults followed Iran’s missile attack on a US facility in Qatar in retaliation for US bombing of Tehran’s nuclear sites and came after US and Israeli raids on Iranian nuclear installations.
  • President Donald Trump announced a “complete and total ceasefire” agreement between Israel and Iran, though continued fire has cast doubt on its durability.
  • Iraq has closed its airspace and urged both Israel and Iran to renew diplomatic ceasefire efforts to prevent wider regional conflict.
