Tension in both countries after the death of the Iranian general.

The US presence in Iraq has been around for a long time and it has always been bugging Iran. But tensions have risen after a US drone strike near Baghdad airport in January 2020.

A top Iranian general was killed in the attack, in retaliation for which Iran fired several missiles at the al-Assad airbase where US troops were stationed.

More than 100 soldiers were seriously injured in the blasts.
