One French soldier killed and several others were wounded after a drone attack targeted a joint French-Peshmerga base near Erbil in northern Iraq. The strike comes amid escalating tensions linked to the widening Iran conflict, raising fears that Western troops could increasingly become targets across the region. Earlier, another drone also struck an Italian-run NATO facility near Erbil. France is now deploying naval forces across the Mediterranean, Red Sea and possibly the Strait of Hormuz. As European leaders warn of threats reaching EU territory like Cyprus, concerns grow that the conflict could expand dramatically.#IraqAttack #DroneStrike #FrenchArmy #NATO #Erbil #MiddleEastWar #IranConflict #BreakingNews #MilitaryStrike #GlobalSecurity
