US bases in Iraq have come under increasing rocket and drone attacks amid rising tensions over the continued American military presence in the Arab country.

JCPOA revival talks
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator says outstanding issues in talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal require serious decision making in the respective capital of the countries involved. Abbas Araqchi made the remarks at the end of the sixth round of negotiations in Vienna. He called on the other parties to the talks to take a realistic approach and adopt necessary measures. Araqchi expressed hope that the next round of talks would produce an agreement but stressed there are no guarantees. The EU envoy to the talks, however, said that there were progress in the talks but the parties adjourned the meeting for consultations in their capitals. Meanwhile, the US said there is still a fair distance to be covered on some of the key issues, including on sanctions and Iran’s nuclear commitments. The US is not directly involved in the Vienna talks.
