Baghdad: Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, is once again on the brink of rising concern in West Asia. The rocket attack took place near the US embassy in Baghdad on Saturday. The Iraqi army said no casualties were reported.

The rocket fired near the US Embassy and the Balad Air Force Base camp. The rockets are believed to have been fired at Celebration Square and Jadria in the highly protected area of Greenzon. The base camp at Balad is a military base set up by US soldiers.

Greenzone is home to many government offices and foreign corporations. Meanwhile, the US military has increased its airspace in Baghdad following a rocket attack.

Earlier, the US had once again attacked Iraq in the aftermath of the airstrikes that killed the leaders of the Iranian and Iraqi forces in a world war. Iraqi paramilitary wing Hashid al-Shaabi’s air force crashed into the air, killing six people. Three were seriously injured.

In Baghdad, the Iranian army commander Major General Qasim Solaimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Hashid al-Shabi, were killed 24 hours before the dead. Iraq Television reports that the US carried out the airstrikes. But the United States denied responsibility for the attack.

Jakarta: The floods in Jakarta, Indonesia, have killed 47 people. The floods have affected more than ten districts in the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta. Most of the rivers in the border areas, such as Bekasi, Bogor, Depok, and Lebak, flowed.

Landslides are also severe in the area. Tens of thousands of homes were flooded. More than 4 lakh people were displaced in relief camps in Jakarta alone. Disaster management spokesman Wibowo said water levels in some areas were still above six meters and rescue efforts were in progress.

This is a situation where nearly two lakh people cannot return home. Most of the city is filled with more than six feet of mud. The heavy rains, which started on January 1, are continuing. The Met Office warns that the rains will continue till next month.

Baghdad: US airstrikes again against Iran. Six people were killed in the attack this morning. This comes just days after the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, General Qasim Sulaimani, was killed in a US invasion. Several people were injured in the accident.

The attack took place on Taji Road in northern Baghdad. The attack was on the Iranian-backed Iraqi paramilitary wing. Two cars were destroyed. Four members were injured.

International media reports that US forces have targeted a senior commander in the army. However, sources said that there was no senior commander in the fleet.

The attack came as the funeral of seven people, including Qasim Sulaimani, was killed on Friday. News agencies have reported that several people were injured in the incident, but no details are available.

US President Donald Trump has said that the airstrikes in Baghdad was aimed at curbing Iranian violence. He said the action was to end the war and not to start the war. In the wake of the latest developments, the US has said it will deploy more troops to the Middle East.

At the same time, Iran has said it will face a severe blow to US aggression. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said the US was responsible for all the consequences and that it was international terrorism.

Baghdad: Global oil prices are on the rise as news of the Iranian commander’s death in a US drone strike at Baghdad airport in the capital of Iraq has surfaced. Crude oil prices soared by four percent in one day. Brent crude rose 4% to $ 69 a barrel on Friday. This is likely to affect the world’s prosperity system. Quds chief Qasim Sulaimani was killed in an attack on Iran amid escalating tensions in West Asia.

More than one-fifth of the global oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz on the Iranian border. It is also the most important strategic area in the world. The bulk of oil coming into India is through Hormis. India is Iran’s largest oil consumer after China. India’s public sector oil companies bought tons of crude oil from Iran last fiscal. Experts say the Indian market could be impacted if the current conflict does not end.

OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) contributes forty percent of the world’s oil supply. Iran ranks second among OPEC countries.

Tehran: The Iranian Revolutionary Guards chief who was killed in a US airstrike in Baghdad has been replaced. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was appointed the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the Revolutionary Guards Department, Esmail Qaani.

Following the martyrdom of General Qasim Suleiman, Brigadier General Ismail Khani has been appointed as the new head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, KhamnaE said. The announcement was made through the official website. Ismail Khani was one of the commanders who led the Iran-Iraq war in 1980-88.

Besides, the deputy commander of the Mobilization Force, Abu Mahdi Mohandis and Muhammad Rada were killed in the US attack, along with the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The United States rocketed early Friday morning to target the military. Seven people have been killed in the attack.
