The Iraqi government is closing ranks in support of the Iraqi resistance against US – and Iranian? – aggression. 🇮🇶 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Iraqi National Security Council has authorised the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) to respond in accordance with the principles of the right of retaliation and self-defence. The trigger was a US air strike against the PMF’s operational headquarters in Anbar province this morning, in which Saad al-Baiji, the PMF’s operational commander in Anbar, was killed along with 14 of his men. In total, there were 30 dead and wounded. The attack took place during a security meeting attended by high-ranking commanders.

Baghdad considers that these strikes jeopardise the country’s stability and affect forces that are an official part of the Iraqi state. (Continue)
