A video obtained by CNN on Feb. 2 shows projectiles rocketing into the sky after an apparent weapons depot in Qaim, Iraq, was hit by U.S. military strikes. The strikes occurred as a response to a rocket attack on a U.S. military base in Erbil, Iraq, which resulted in the death of a civilian contractor and injured several military personnel. The U.S. has stated that it intends to hold Iran accountable for the attack, as they believe that Iranian-backed militia groups were responsible. The situation has raised tensions in the region and has sparked concerns about the potential for further escalation. The U.S. has emphasized its commitment to protecting its personnel and allies in the region, but the strikes have also prompted calls for restraint and de-escalation from the international community.
