US State Dept offers $3M bounty for intel on Iraq embassy attacks
The US State Department's Rewards for Justice programme announced a $3 million reward for information on recent attacks against US diplomatic facilities in Iraq, including the Baghdad Embassy, Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, and Erbil Consulate. The programme specifically references Iran-aligned armed groups as suspected perpetrators. This represents an escalatory diplomatic response to a pattern of strikes on US interests in Iraq.
