Baghdad drone strike| U.S. strike kills militia leader blamed for Iraq attacks | Know more| Oneindia
The U.S. military has carried out a strike in Baghdad against an Iraqi militia leader it blames for attacks against U.S. forces in the country, killing him and another person, a U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday.
The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the strike hit a vehicle in Baghdad.
It targeted a leader of Harakat al Nujaba, the official said, without naming the person.
The U.S. military has come under attack at least 100 times in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas war began in October, usually with a mix of rockets and one-way attack drones.
The United States has 2,500 troops deployed in Iraq and 900 in neighbouring Syria in a bid to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State militants.
Just hours after Iran launched a ballistic missile at the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, multiple military installations across Iraq were rocked by drone strikes, sparking fears of a wider regional escalation. The first blast targeted Camp Taji, a massive base north of Baghdad known to house U.S. personnel and key radar systems. Moments later, explosions were reported at Balad Air Base and Imam Ali Air Base in Dhi Qar Province, with radar systems reportedly destroyed.

Following the Arab League Summit in Baghdad, Hamas fiercely criticized Arab leaders for failing to take meaningful action as Israelâs assault on Gaza intensified. The group demanded enforcement of Riyadh resolutions, lifting of the blockade, and sanctions on Israel. Citing massacres in northern Gaza that coincided with the summit, Hamas stressed the need for urgent global solidarity. Other resistance factions echoed similar sentiments, condemning Arab regimes for hollow statements and complicity in genocide. The factions emphasized that real intervention, not symbolism, is urgently needed to halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gazaâs unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraqâs PM labelled Israelâs actions âgenocide,â pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanonâs reconstruction. The summit follows President Trumpâs controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israelâs compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gazaâs rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents.

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israelâs unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis.
He called on the international community to act before itâs too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israelâs regional ambitions and the Westâs blind eye.

Hezbollah Deputy Chief Naim Qassem has firmly rejected any normalization deal with Israel, vowing continued resistance until full Israeli withdrawal and ceasefire conditions are met. Speaking on the final day of Ashura commemorations, Qassem said defending Lebanonâs sovereignty requires no foreign approval and warned against disarmament under U.S. pressure. While open to dialogue, he stressed that any peace must respect Lebanonâs dignity and resistance. The remarks come amid rising regional tensions and renewed calls for a security agreement.

In a dramatic admission, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has warned that despite military gains in Gaza, Israel is ultimately losing the war. In a public statement, Ayalon said, "No matter how many battles we win, we will lose if there's no political solution." He stressed that without a vision for peace, particularly a two-state solution, Israel risks destroying its own identity as both a Jewish and democratic state. Calling a Palestinian state "Hamasâs worst nightmare," Ayalon urged Israeli leadership to look beyond short-term military victories and invest in long-term political outcomes. His comments come amid growing criticism from Israeli officials and security experts about the governmentâs handling of the conflict. Ayalonâs voice adds weight to the urgent global calls for a ceasefire and meaningful diplomacy. His stark words have sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles and reignited the debate over the only viable path to peace.

In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it âfake news.â Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. âThis was standard policy â not specific to Ukraine,â she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administrationâs top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administrationâs efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage.

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal â casting serious doubt on Netanyahuâs commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.
Is a deal still possible â or is peace slipping further away?

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump.
In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections â a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over.
With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahuâs visit could reshape the Middle East â militarily and diplomatically.

Nasser Al-Laham, the prominent head of Al Mayadeen TVâs Palestine bureau, has been arrested by Israeli forces following a violent pre-dawn raid on his home. According to reports by Al Mayadeen, Shin Bet officers stormed the house and destroyed belongings while searching for the studio from where Al-Laham appeared on-air.
The arrest comes amid increasing crackdowns on pro-resistance media voices in the occupied territories. Al-Laham was transferred to the notorious Ofer Court in the occupied West Bank, where his detention was extended until Thursday. The operation has triggered outrage among journalists, human rights groups, and regional media networks, who condemn the targeting of press freedom. Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based channel often critical of Israel and aligned with the Resistance Axis, has described the arrest as an attempt to silence Palestinian voices. This development adds further tension to an already volatile West Bank, where media suppression is becoming increasingly common.
