A drone struck a major U.S. diplomatic facility in Iraq on Tuesday amid the U.S.-Israeli air war on Iran, but there were no injuries and everyone was accounted for, Reuters reported citing a U.S. official and an internal State Department alert.

The drone hit the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, next to the Baghdad airport, impacting near a guard tower, the internal alert from the Department seen by Reuters said. Individuals at the facility were ordered to “duck and cover”, it said. A separate alert said everyone was accounted for.

The Washington Post first reported the incident and said a total of six ⁠drones were launched toward the compound in Baghdad and that five were shot down. It also said the attack was likely carried out by the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

Iraq condemned the attacks near the Iraqi bases but did not mention the damaged U.S. facility, according to the Washington Post.

The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East. 

As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the ongoing war with Iran, Reuters reported citing two people familiar with the matter.

The casualty figure has not been previously reported. Prior to Reuters’ publication of the figure, the Pentagon had only disclosed eight U.S. personnel seriously injured.

In a statement after Reuters published its report, the Pentagon estimated the figure to be approximately 140 wounded and said the vast majority of them were ⁠minor injuries.

“Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded over 10 days of sustained attacks,” Reuters quoted chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell as saying.

He said 108 of the wounded service members had already returned to duty.

Parnell said the eight seriously wounded service members were receiving the highest level of medical care.

In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East. 

The Pentagon says the number of Iranian strikes has fallen sharply since the start of the war, as ⁠the U.S. military bombs Iran’s weapons inventories and targets Iran’s more limited number of missile launchers.

Russia’s consulate in the Iranian city of Isfahan was damaged in shelling earlier this week, Russian ‌Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

“On March 8, the Russian Consulate General building in the Iranian city of Isfahan was damaged as a result of an attack on the nearby governor’s office,” the Russian TASS news agency quoted Zakharova as saying.

“Windows were shattered in the office building and residential apartments, and several employees were thrown back by the blast wave. Fortunately, there were no casualties or serious injuries,” Zakharova said.

She pointed out that the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, directly or indirectly affecting the interests of an increasing number of states and their peaceful citizens. “This is evident, in particular, in the fact that foreign diplomatic missions and consular offices in the region are also being targeted. Their number is growing,” the spokesperson added.

Zakharova said that Russia demands that all parties to the conflict in the Middle East respect the inviolability of diplomatic facilities, as attacks on them violate international law. “We consider attacks on diplomatic and consular missions to be a flagrant violation of such basic documents of international law as the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. We demand that all parties strictly observe the inviolability of diplomatic premises and refrain from encroaching on the safety, life, and health of their personnel,” Zakharova stressed.

“We call on the parties to the conflict to immediately end the military confrontation and return to the negotiating table,” the diplomat concluded.

The U.S. military says it has destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, after Tehran threatened to not allow oil to pass through the waterway, through which a fifth of the world’s crude flows.

“U.S. forces eliminated multiple Iranian naval vessels, March 10, including 16 minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz,” U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on X.

Trump previously said the U.S. had “completely destroyed” 10 inactive mine-laying vessels.

In apparent response to media reports that Iran had begun laying mines in the waterway, a key passage for oil shipments, Trump posted on Truth Social: “If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports ⁠of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY!”

He said that if Tehran did not do so it would face military consequences. 

Tuesday, which marked day 11 of the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran, saw some of the most intense attacks yet, Euronews reported citing residents of the Iranian capital. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said that U.S. attacks would be more intense.

Iran has continued to retaliate throughout the day, firing multiple barrages of missiles and drones at Israel and targets across neighbouring Gulf states.

Meanwhile, Israeli attacks are continuing to heavily target Lebanon on a daily basis, as Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah members and infrastructure.

Euronews reported citing Lebanese officials that Israeli attacks on the Lebanese cities of Tyre and Sidon on Tuesday killed at least seven people and injured dozens more. It comes in addition to the latest released death toll figures from a day prior, where Beirut detailed that at least 397 people were killed during the war so far, Euronews reported. 

The UN voiced its concerns with the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the already economically struggling Lebanon, after it said that its investigations have uncovered that at least 667,000 people were internally displaced by Israeli attacks over the course of the last two weeks.

A projectile hit a cargo ship Wednesday in the Strait of Hormuz, setting the vessel ablaze after the United States targeted Iranian minelaying vessels, The Associated Press reported citing the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) center.

According to the report the vessel had been hit just north of Oman in the strait.

It said the crew was evacuating the ship.

Iran did not immediately claim the attack.

The UKMTO earlier reported on another attack targeting a vessel off Ras al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates.

Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is “safe and sound,” said Yousef Pezeshkian, son of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, on Wednesday, after reports that Khamenei is reportedly injured.

“I heard news that Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured. I have asked some friends who have connections. They told me that, thank God, he is safe and sound,” the Iranian President’s son said on Telegram.

Earlier media reports said that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran.

Earlier this week Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father Ali Khamenei as supreme leader. Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is the second son of Ali Khamenei, who led the Islamic Republic for 36 years and was assassinated on February 28 in the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.

Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t made any public address since taking office.
