Strikes Near Baghdad Airport Raise Prison Security Concerns
A Telegram statement indicated that areas around Baghdad International Airport and Al-Karkh prison have experienced repeated assaults in recent days, with the most severe attack happening on Sunday.
“The most intense attacks occurred today, with six strikes occurring between 6 p.m. and now, some of which landed very close to the prison," the ministry reported. "This raises concerns about the potential impact on the security of the prison, which houses highly dangerous terrorist inmates.”
Tensions have intensified since Israel and the US conducted joint operations against Iran on February 28, resulting in approximately 1,200 deaths, including the then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iran has launched retaliatory drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations that host US military facilities.
