US Troops Land In Najaf Desert, Gunfight With Iraqi Army Leaves Soldier Dead; Baghdad Probes |VERTEX

Описание: A deadly confrontation has erupted in Iraq’s western desert after suspected US special forces clashed with Iraqi troops during a dawn operation near the Najaf–Karbala–Anbar border on March 5, 2026. Iraqi officials say a unit from the Karbala Operations Command was conducting a search mission after a shepherd reported helicopters and Humvees landing near al-Nukhaib. As Iraqi forces approached the unidentified troops, they reportedly came under airstrike and gunfire. One Iraqi soldier was killed and two others wounded. Iraqi authorities have launched an investigation, calling the incident a serious violation. The clash comes amid rising regional tensions and reports of Iranian drone attacks on US forces in Erbil.
