Billboards reading 'Death to America, Death to Israel' appear on the streets of Baghdad 'as part of a campaign by Iranian agents'. Menacing billboards reading 'Death to America, Death to Israel' are emerging on the streets of Baghdad as part of a campaign by Iranian agents, according to an Iraqi governor. It is believed that the billboards are part of a propaganda campaign by Iran, who are using proxy groups in Iraq to flex their regional muscle amid rising tensions with Washington. Atheel al-Nujaifi, the governor of Iraq's Nineveh province said last week that signs calling on the destruction of America 'are evidence of the government's inability to control pro-Iranian groups who want to drag Iraq into an international conflict that endangers the country's future on behalf of Iran'.

Ten drones launched by Iran-backed militants sparked a huge fire at the world's largest oil processing facility and a major oilfield in Saudi Arabia in the early hours of this morning. The fires at Abqaiq in Buqyaq, which contains the world's largest oil processing plant, and Khurais, which contains the country's second largest oilfield, have now been brought under control since the drone attacks at 4.00am local time. Tensions are running high in the region after attacks in June and July on oil tankers in Gulf waters that Riyadh and Washington blamed on Iran. A military spokesman for Yemen's Houthi rebels, considered an Iranian proxy force in the region, has claimed responsibility for today's attacks on Abqaiq and Khurais, two major facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia run by state-owned oil giant Aramco. 💥🔥😱
