US missile strike hits Iran-Iraq border crossing, killing two near passenger terminal

Iran says US forces have attacked the Shalamcheh border crossing with missiles, killing two people near a passenger terminal. The crossing connects Iran with southern Iraq and serves as a key corridor for commerce, travel, and pilgrimages to Shia holy sites. Thousands of passengers use the border point every day, making it one of the important transit routes between the two countries. Local authorities say the strike caused damage near the passenger area as tensions continue to escalate between Iran and the United States.
