…invited by Iran's regime at Shalamcheh border crossing to suppress domestic uprisings, celebrating their elimination.

Video footage shows thick black smoke rising near trucks and border fencing at the crossing, with people reacting amid debris, consistent with strike aftermath footage from the site.

Reports confirm a precision airstrike struck the Iranian side of Shalamcheh on April 4, 2026, killing one Iraqi and injuring others, halting all trade and passenger traffic amid broader US-Israeli operations targeting Iran-linked assets in the region.
