This story has not gotten enough attention.
A senior French military official was killed in Iraqi Kurdistan by an Iranian drone two days ago. No details have been provided by the French as to why he was there in the first place, except saying it was "defensive".
According to the Iranians, Iraqi Kurdish authorities tipped off Tehran that the French were in Kurdistan seeking to arm and help Iranian Kurdish militias to attack Iran.
Tehran responded immediately with drone attacks that killed one and left several French soldiers wounded.
Clearly, all details are not known yet, but this is likely a significant development.
