Iran-backed militia suffers heavy blow: 14 Killed, including top commander, in Iraq airstrike

Baghdad (The Uttam Hindu): A very big and sensational news has come out from Iraq amidst the ongoing heavy tension between Iran and Israel-America. A major headquarters of Tehran-backed militia fighters has been attacked by a fierce airstrike in Iraq. In this devastating airstrike, 14 fighters including a top commander of the militia were killed on the spot. Immediately after the attack, high flames of fire and clouds of smoke were seen rising from the headquarters building. Although no country or organization has officially taken responsibility for this airstrike yet, but the militia groups have directly blamed America for it.

PMF base targeted in Anbar province

According to local sources and information received from Iraq, this precise target was a key headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) located in Anbar province. This Shia militia group is considered a major supporter of Iran. The magnitude of the attack can be gauged from the fact that the entire building was destroyed in the blink of an eye, killing 14 people, including a key commander. The militia has directly blamed the US for the attack, calling it a blatant and serious violation of Iraq's sovereignty.

Did the attacks on US military bases receive a terrifying response?

This massive airstrike comes at a time when tensions in the Middle East are already at their peak. For some time now, these Iran-backed militia groups have been continuously launching retaliatory attacks targeting US military bases in Iraq and surrounding areas. Experts believe that this latest airstrike could be a terrifying retaliation. Previously, the US had carried out rapid airstrikes on several militia bases in Iraq to protect its troops. This ongoing tension between the US, Israel, and Iran has plunged the entire region into the flames of a major war.
