Iran drone kills French soldier in Iraqi Kurdistan

An Iranian drone has killed a French soldier in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, his commanding officer said on Friday, after President Emmanuel Macron confirmed the first French military death in the Middle East war. Since US-Israeli strikes on Iran last month engulfed the Middle East in war, multiple attacks attributed to pro-Iranian factions have targeted the region where foreign forces are based as part of an international anti-jihadist coalition.The soldier’s death follows a separate drone strike on an Italian base in Erbil, within a military compound that was hosting other foreign troops.
