"Air strikes targeting Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) have killed three fighters and two Iraqi police, as the US-Israeli war on Iran continued to spill over Iraq's eastern border."
"A statement from the ex-paramilitary coalition, which is now integrated into the regular Iraqi army, blamed the United States and Israel, saying that those killed had been subjected to a treacherous Zionist-American attack."
"As the war expands into Iraq, Baghdad has found itself on a tightrope between the US and Iran, said Haque. They can't afford to turn their back on their biggest neighbour, Iran."
Air strikes targeting Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces have killed three fighters and two police, with the ex-paramilitary group blaming the US and Israel. The attacks occurred near Kirkuk Airport and in Mosul, amid escalating tensions from the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The PMF, formed to combat ISIL, has been involved in retaliatory actions against US interests. Iraq's government struggles to manage the PMF's factions, some loyal to Tehran, while balancing relations with both the US and Iran amidst the ongoing crisis.
