Iran Strikes: Iran Launches Cluster Missile Attack on Israel, Claims Downing of US MQ-9 Reaper Drone

The conflict in the Middle East has intensified further as Iran launched fresh attacks on Israel using cluster missiles. The strikes mark a significant escalation, with visuals showing explosions and heavy bombardment across multiple regions. Iran has also claimed that it shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, along with a total of 12 American drones. The MQ-9 Reaper is a high-altitude surveillance and strike drone widely used by the United States. The overnight conflict saw widespread attacks across the region, including Tehran, Baghdad, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Manama, Tel Aviv, and Beirut. Iran reportedly targeted locations linked to US military presence and diplomatic facilities. In Iraq, drone strikes were carried out near the US Embassy in Baghdad. Meanwhile, a major explosion was reported near Fujairah Port in the UAE, where an oil tanker caught fire. The war, now in its 18th day, continues to expand, with retaliatory strikes from all sides, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
