Iranian drones strike Kurdish prime minister's office in Iraq

Iranian drones attacked the office of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan region in Iraq, Masrour Barzani, and the residence of the head of the security agency in the Pirmam district overnight. The incident occurred as the two-month ceasefire between the United States and Iran, outlined in the Islamabad agreement, comes to an end today.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran has used the ceasefire period to prepare for a broader conflict. The situation in the Persian Gulf is tense, with Washington announcing plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz as 'American territory', to which Tehran responded, saying 'a tweet is not enough'.

In an atmosphere of escalating hostility, Iranian ayatollahs have also placed a bounty on American soldiers, offering rewards for those who can capture or kill them. This move further highlights the escalation of conflict between the two nations.
