An overpass above the highway leading the Lebanese capital Beirut to the southern areas is pictured ahead of the first anniversary of the killing of Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani (portrait), on December 31, 2020 in Beirut. On January 3, Iraq will mark a year since a US drone strike killed Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of Iraq's powerful Tehran-aligned Hashed Al-Shaabi paramilitary network, alongside Soleimani, head of the elite external operations of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, nearly sparking a conflict that many fear could still ignite.
