Iran VP denies Tehran behind attack inside Iraq
Iranian officials have reiterated comments by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that they will not start the war but will fight back against an invasion.
After the United States struck a number of Iraqi bases of an Iran-backed Iraqi group that is part of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) following an attack on an American base, Iranian officials and media again became consumed with Iran-US tensions.
After the United States attacked bases belonging to Kataib Hezbollah, killing 25 and injuring dozens, PMU backers attacked the US Embassy in Baghdad. Many analysts believe the recent events in Iraq are part of an ongoing proxy war between Iran and the United States.
