The Attacks in the US Had the Most Severe Consequences in the Middle East
In Falluja, Iraq, babies are still born with severe defects linked to the Iraq War, which began after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US. Although Iraq was not involved in 9/11, it became a major battleground in the US-led War on Terror. According to Brown University's Cost of War project, 4.5–4.7 million people have died in US-led wars since 2001. Experts like Paul Salem (CSIS) argue that these wars strengthened Iran and led to further instability, with consequences still felt 25 years later.
