“US Launches Surprise Strike on Baghdad Militia Leader – Breaking News!

The US military has reportedly conducted a strike targeting senior Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in Baghdad, Iraq. The strike, which took place on January 3, was part of the US response to a rocket attack at an Iraqi military base that killed a US contractor and injured four US personnel. Iraqi security sources have confirmed the strike, and said that an Sharqat police station in northern Baghdad was destroyed in the process. The Iraqi government has yet to issue any formal statement on the matter, however the US government has confirmed the targeted strike and identified the target as al-Muhandis. Al-Muhandis is a key figure in the Iraq’s Shiite militia movement, and has close ties to Iran. He is a leader in the Popular Mobilization Forces, a militia organization formed in 2014 to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). He has been a vocal supporter of Iraq’s resistance against US forces in the country and is closely aligned with several Iranian-backed militias operating in the country. The strike was likely intended to send a message that the US will not tolerate attacks on its personnel in Iraq. It was also seen as a warning to Iran, whose forces in Iraq have been accused of repeated provocations against US military forces in the region. The strike has generated much backlash among Iraqi officials and public, who condemned the US for unilaterally carrying out military strikes on Iraqi soil without the approval of the Iraqi government. Many have also accused the US of undermining Iraqi sovereignty by carrying out the strike, and have called for an investigation into the incident. The US strike on al-Mahdi al-Muhandis is the latest action in an escalating standoff between the US and Iran over the latter’s influence in Iraq, and it is sure to have further repercussions in the weeks to come.
