TEXT LIVE. Explosions have rocked the capital of Iraq - the US embassy has been attacked
The US embassy in Baghdad has come under attack amidst ongoing tensions and military conflicts involving Iran, the US, and Israel.
The ongoing conflict involving Iran's regime, which has been in power since 1979, has escalated with recent attacks leading to significant casualties, including the assassination of Iran's top spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Following his death, his son Mojtaba Khamenei has taken over leadership, further complicating the political landscape in Iran. In response to the rising chaos, Iran has increased its military actions by launching missile and drone strikes against Israel and other Gulf nations hosting US military bases.
This intensifying violence has serious implications not only for the region but also for the global economy. The conflict has resulted in the cancellation of thousands of flights and the evacuation of foreign tourists stranded due to the unrest. Additionally, the surge in military engagements has contributed to a spike in oil prices on the world market, indicating the broader economic impact of the instability in the Middle East.
