A massive blaze erupted at an oil storage complex on the outskirts of Baghdad, turning several large tanks into towering infernos. Witnesses reported thick black smoke billowing over the surrounding neighborhoods, while flames leapt high into the sky, visible for miles. Early reports suggest that the fire may have been triggered by an explosion in one of the tanks, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
Emergency crews from Iraq’s Ministry of Interior and the local fire department rushed to the site, deploying multiple fire‑fighting units and air‑lifted water bombers in an effort to contain the conflagration. The intense heat forced nearby residents to evacuate, and authorities set up a temporary exclusion zone to keep civilians away from the hazardous area. By nightfall, the flames were largely brought under control, but several tanks remained ablaze, and the risk of further explosions persisted.
Preliminary assessments indicate that the incident could have significant environmental and economic repercussions, with the potential loss of millions of barrels of oil and the release of toxic fumes. Iraqi officials have pledged a thorough investigation to determine whether the fire was accidental or the result of sabotage, and they have called for heightened security measures at critical energy infrastructure across the country. International partners have offered assistance, emphasizing the strategic importance of stabilizing Iraq’s oil sector amid regional tensions.

La milizia irachena Kataib Hezbollah, sostenuta dall'Iran, ha annunciato che rilascerà la giornalista americana Shelly Kittleson, rapita lo scorso 31 marzo a Baghdad. Il gruppo ha affermato che la decisione è stata presa "in segno di apprezzamento per le posizioni patriottiche del primo ministro uscente" Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, senza fornire ulteriori dettagli e ha aggiunto che "questa iniziativa non sarà ripetuta in futuro".
Kataib Hezbollah ha specificato inoltre che Kittleson dovrà "lasciare immediatamente il Paese" una volta rilasciata. Due funzionari all'interno della milizia, che hanno parlato a condizione di anonimato, hanno detto all'Associated Press che, in cambio della liberazione della 49enne giornalista, alcuni membri del gruppo precedentemente detenuti dalle autorità irachene sarebbero stati rilasciati. Kittleson, reporter freelance, ha vissuto a Roma per un periodo e costruendo una carriera giornalistica rispettata in tutto il Medioriente, in particolare in Iraq e Siria. La giornalista ha collaborato anche con testate italiane. Era rientrata in Iraq poco prima del rapimento.
Shelly Kittleson released, the free journalist in exchange for Hezbollah militants.
Kataib Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia, has announced that it will release American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was kidnapped on March 31st in Baghdad. The group stated that the decision was made “in recognition of the outgoing prime minister’s patriotic positions” Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, without providing further details, and added that “this initiative will not be repeated in the future.”
Kataib Hezbollah has also specified that Kittleson must “immediately leave the country” upon her release. Two officials within the militia, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press that in exchange for the release of the 49-year-old journalist, some previously detained members of the group would be released. Kittleson, a freelance reporter, had lived in Rome for a period and built a respected journalistic career in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq and Syria. The journalist had also collaborated with Italian media outlets. She had returned to Iraq shortly before her kidnapping.

#SethMoulton illegally invaded #Iraq in 2003, one of the first #USmarines to enter #Baghdad. Like the other invaders, he has never been charged with #warCrimes.
Now he is a #Democrat, a US Rep for #Massachussets. And he's whining about #Polymarket betting on a downed airman.
Betting on US imperial aggression is a:huge tradition. But the bet is usually in #ArmsTrade shares. Moulton is not objecting to that.
He's just attention-seeking for his #USsenate campaign.
