Two rockets have been fired into Baghdad's Green Zone, where the US embassy is located. The attack is possibly in retaliation for the US killing of Iran's top military commander
A growing number of airlines said Wednesday they were avoiding Iranian and Iraqi airspace or flights to the region after Tehran fired ballistic missiles against bases housing US troops in Iraq.
The Ukrainian airliner that crashed outside Tehran on Wednesday killing over 170 people was a Boeing 737 built in 2016 and checked only two days before the accident, the company said.
