Saddam Hussein’s deputy Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri lashes out at the Kuwaiti delegation during a 2003 Arab summit, shortly before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

A longtime Saddam loyalist and senior government figure, former Iraqi Vice President al-Douri stayed in Iraq and helped form the Naqshbandi Army militia in the 2010s, which fought the Iraqi government.

U.S. Military Statement: We have initiated a new round of attacks against Iran; we are preparing to resume the naval blockade of Iran in the next half hour.

Despite the large number of airstrikes, most have involved small warheads, including UAV-dropped bombs and American one-way drones, rather than typical 1,000–2,000 lb fighter jet–dropped bombs.

The targets have mostly been lower-value sites such as telecommunications infrastructure and military barracks that are easy to rebuild or replace.

So far, there have been no strikes on major energy infrastructure, major military bases, nuclear sites, government buildings, ballistic missile and drone manufacturing facilities or assassinations.

Syria is now producing around 130,000 barrels of crude oil per day, with only 40% of its oil and gas wells operating.

This is about 270% higher than 2025’s 35,000 bpd and roughly 225–330% higher than 2024’s 30,000–40,000 bpd.

At this level, production covers around 50% of domestic oil needs, compared with only about 10–15% in 2024.
