Iran Plotted Wider War With Help of Its Proxies

Iran is accused of planning a larger war with the help of its allied militias. In Mosul, Iraq, airstrikes hit bases of the Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iraqi militia group that receives support from Iran. Mourners carried a coffin draped in the Iranian flag at a funeral for those killed in the strikes. The incident shows rising tension between Iran and its rivals in the region.
