Iran Claims Missile Barrage Near US Consulate in Iraq

Iraq’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday summoned Iran’s ambassador to protest the attack, calling it a flagrant violation of the country’s sovereignty.
No injuries were reported in the Sunday attack, which marked a significant escalation between the U.S. and Iran.
Hostility between the longtime foes has often played out in Iraq, whose government is allied with both countries.
