Shiite factions fire on Iraq amid tensions
Iraq is facing an escalation of military confrontations following strikes carried out by the United States and Saudi Arabia against Shiite armed factions supported by Iran. Armed groups, notably "Kata'ib Hezbollah" and "Asha'ir al-Haq," are accused of attacking oil facilities in Saudi Arabia and launching attacks on American interests within Iraq. The strikes resulted in the deaths of 20 Popular Mobilization Forces members and injuries to 32 others, including five Iranian advisors. Meanwhile, these armed groups refuse to surrender their weapons and justify their attacks as acts of resistance. The Iraqi government calls for avoiding escalation and warns of the region becoming more complicated, amid fears that the conflict could widen and impact regional policies.
