An Iraqi shepherd accidentally discovered a secret Israeli military base hidden deep inside Iraq’s western desert.
The U.S knew about this base while Iraq did not know anything about it.
Israel reportedly built the clandestine base before the war on Iran began, using it as a forward hub for air operations, special forces, and rescue teams in case Israeli pilots were shot down.
After the shepherd noticed unusual helicopter activity and alerted Iraqi forces, Iraqi troops were sent to investigate activity on their own sovereign land.
They were immediately hit with airstrikes.
One Iraqi soldier was killed. Two others were wounded.
Iraq later condemned the attack at the UN, initially believing the U.S. carried it out.
The secret base operated inside Iraq without the Iraqi government’s knowledge, nearly 1,000 miles from Israel itself.
Iraq’s Counter Terrorism units later searched the area and reportedly found evidence of a military presence, but could not identify whose it was.
A foreign military secretly operating inside another country, then bombing that country’s soldiers for discovering it.

Its 36 years since one of the most famous deceptions in history.
A deception the US deep state invented to justify the bloody first invasion of Iraq.
"Kuwaiti girl" Naira tearfully testified before the US Congress in October 1990, where she claimed to have witnessed horrific scenes in one of Kuwait's hospitals
"Iraqi soldiers stormed the hospital, threw newborn babies out of incubators, and left them to die on the cold floor!"
The story pushed the country to war. US senators passed a resolution to invade Iraq by a margin of five votes. Seven of them believed the girl's words.
Two months before the testimony, 17% of Americans supported US involvement in the conflict. Two months later, nearly half of Americans believed military intervention was necessary.
After the war ended, it was revealed that Naira was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US, and her story was fabricated by the PR agency Hill & Knowlton, hired by the Kuwaiti government. During the first Iraq war over 135,000 Iraqis were killed.
