Hi,

No attack on U.S. base in Iraq?

Sky News is now saying Iran didn't attack any U.S. bases outside of Qatar. [1] Ixfd64 (talk) 18:40, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Idk2716639 (talk) 19:23, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and remove "Iraq" from the infobox. David O. Johnson (talk) 19:28, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NO NO! Wait! There are some sources which say that the missiles were shot over Iraq.129.127.204.94 (talk) 08:43, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All parties?

There is a sentence in the lede: "According to a source the attacks were coordinated between all parties." Who are "all parties." It's not clear, at least to me, which parties this phrase applies to. Jeff (talk) 20:54, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I adjusted the wording; hopefully the meaning is clearer now. David O. Johnson (talk)

Operation name translation

It appears that news outlets are using various different translations for Iran's codename for the attack. The Persian name is 'Basharat-i Fath', as noted in this article's lead, but this seems to be being translated alternatively as "Glad Tidings of Victory" [2], "Annunciation of Victory" [3], "Blessings of Victory" [4], "Promise of Victory" [5], and "Herald of Victory" [6]. I only use one link for each here, but each has been used by more than one outlet. Wikipedia is also not currently consistent with it; the lead of this article uses "Glad Tidings" (sourced from WION), the body of this article uses "Blessings" (sourced from CNN), and the Iran–Israel war article uses "Annunciation" (sourced from Sky News).

I've currently been trying to compile a list of what reliable sources/news outlets are using which translated name, but on just a cursory look, it seems that "Glad Tidings" & "Annunciation" are the most common, with "Annunciation" potentially being slightly more common than "Glad Tidings". However, it's possible that it may be a bit too early to establish a proper COMMONNAME. — Jamie Eilat (talk) 21:11, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Split topic

Given that strikes on Camp Taji have been reported, I propose either splitting this article or moving it into something like 2025 Iranian strikes on Qatar and Iraq. HeyThisIsARandomGuy! (talk) 17:05, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
