Accessibility issue - [role="img"] elements must have an alternative text

Moving to Need review, PR Raised.

Apparently previous patch does not work with all the accessibility checkers, updating patch.

The issue related to missing alternative text for the Font Awesome icon used as an external link indicator has been addressed. Specifically, added an aria-label attribute to the icon element if one was not already present, which ensures better accessibility for screen readers.
.This resolves the accessibility error where screen readers were unable to interpret the icon due to the lack of an alternative text attribute.
So moving it to RTBC.

Where is this getting reported as an error? If anything they are decorative images and shouldn't need a full alt text I'd imagine.
