Morning update

Morning update Good morning Middle East Eye readers, Here are the latest developments from across the region: A US attack on Iran’s Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq killed at least two and wounded 11 others on Thursday, state news agency IRNA reported. Several other US strikes were reported across the country, including in Bushehr and Andimeshk. The US House of Representatives narrowly passed its version of a massive defence policy bill on Wednesday, despite Democrats' concerns about its huge price tag, the Iran war and a provision that would boost Pentagon ties to Israel.
