Iraqi militia wants to suspend attacks against US troops. US President Biden sees Iran as responsible.

Government circles in Baghdad said the attack was “obviously one step too many.” Now everyone is at a crossroads, writes Stefan Krieger of the International Crisis Group. The drone attack killed three US soldiers and injured more than 40. The USA had declared that the act bore the hallmarks of Kataib Hezbollah. The Hezbollah Brigades is a group affiliated with the pro-Iranian Hashed al-Shaabi network.
