A main base of the Iraq-based "Popular Mobilization Forces" militia, which is allied with Iran, in Basra was targeted by an airstrike, resulting in injuries to two people. The area is currently undergoing searches and damage assessments. These attacks come as part of an escalation in military operations in response to strikes against American forces and Saudi oil facilities, carried out jointly by U.S. and Saudi forces in Iraq. The "Popular Mobilization Forces," or "Hashd al-Shabi," are armed factions supported by Iran that have played a key role in fighting ISIS. Recently, they were integrated into Iraqi state institutions and maintain close ties with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
