Report: Iraqi army enters Baghdad's Green Zone, tanks deployed Press TV reported that the Iraqi army entered Baghdad's Green Zone with tanks and armoured vehicles, placing the heavily fortified district, which houses the US Embassy, under lockdown. The reported deployment came amid escalating regional tensions after Bahrain's interior ministry confirmed warning sirens had sounded following reports of an explosion and claims of a drone attack targeting Sheikh Isa Air Base. The developments followed overnight US attacks on 10 Iranian military sites near the Strait of Hormuz, which Washington said were retaliation for a drone strike on the tanker M/T Kiku.
