Title: America: Drone Attack on Its Forces in Iraq Thwarted

Two U.S. officials told Reuters that the U.S. military thwarted an attack targeting its forces in Iraq early Wednesday morning, intercepting two drones before they reached their targets. The officials, who requested anonymity, refrained from disclosing the party they suspect carried out the attack. This comes as Washington has heightened its alert level in anticipation of attacks from Iran-backed groups amid a sharp rise in tension in the region due to the war between Israel and the Islamic resistance movement (Hamas).
