🔻 Statement by Popular Mobilization Forces after attacks by Saudi Arabia and the United States on its positions in Iraqi soil

After the early hours of Wednesday, when the United States and Saudi Arabia jointly launched airstrikes against Popular Mobilization Forces’ positions in Iraq, this group reacted by issuing a statement.

The organization, which is considered part of Iraq’s armed forces, said on Wednesday morning that during the attacks by the United States and Saudi Arabia on its bases in northern Iraq, at least 8 people were killed and another 4 were injured.

In the Popular Mobilization Forces statement that has been published by Iran’s official news agencies, it said: «We consider these attacks to be a very dangerous act of incitement, an overt violation of Iraq’s territorial integrity, and a targeting of the country’s official security institutions. We emphasize that the relevant sections are conducting on-the-ground assessments of the situation, and the process of evaluating damages and exact figures is still ongoing.»
