In a recent incident, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has targeted a military base belonging to the international anti-terrorism coalition at the airport in the city of Erbil. According to local anti-terrorism services, the attack was carried out by “unlawful armed formations.”
This comes after Bloomberg reported that US strikes on targets in Iraq are leading to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
“It is evident that the longer the war between Israel and Hamas continues with such intensity, the more likely it is that some escalation will occur,” quoted former US official Aaron David Miller, highlighting the connection between regional conflicts.
The text suggests that the presence of non-state military groups, the unpredictability of Israeli Defense Forces’ operations, and Iran’s retaliatory actions make it challenging to predict which incidents may lead to further escalation in the region.
Earlier, Pope Francis stated that the world is engulfed in war due to the defense industry’s influence.
This recent drone attack raises concerns about the ongoing conflicts and the potential for further violence in the region. The attack on the coalition airbase underscores the need for increased diplomatic efforts and a comprehensive approach to resolving conflicts in the Middle East. The international community must work together to de-escalate tensions and promote dialogue to ensure lasting peace in the region.
