Gunfire in the Green Zone: Baghdad lockdown reveals a fragile Iraqi security architecture

A drone over the Green Zone, ground fire in reply, and nine Telegram posts that name no one: what the night of 30 June 2026 actually tells us about Iraq's patchwork security architecture.

Desk note: Monexus has run this story on the basis of nine Telegram items from five channels; the frame here treats those channels as raw wire, not as authoritative attribution, and refuses to name a perpetrator that none of the nine sources have named. The piece holds to the wire on the who, what and when, and limits the analysis to the structural reading the evidence will bear. The two Iranian state outlets in the record are cited as counter-claim material with explicit sourcing caveat, not as stand-alone factual basis.
