The US military launched airstrikes on Friday against more than 85 targets linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and the militias it backs in retaliation for last weekend’s drone attack in Jordan that killed three US troops. Iraq’s Anbar Operations Command reported 16 fatalities and 25 injuries, but no official death toll has been issued. In the town of Al-Qa'im, about 217 miles (350km) north-west of the capital Baghdad, cars were destroyed by fire and buildings damaged after an airstrike hit the Sikak neighbourhood
