The US-Saudi strikes targeted PMF facilities in Baghdad and five Iraqi provinces, killing at least 20 PMF fighters, according to the group. The Iraqi National Security Council said the strikes came as “the Iraqi government was communicating with the concerned parties to verify and address” Saudi Arabia’s claims “regarding the targeting of Saudi territories [from Iraq].” Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, who recently visited Trump in Washington, canceled a planned trip to Saudi Arabia over the attacks. Iranian media reported that four members of the IRGC’s Quds Force were killed by US-Saudi strikes on the Iraqi city of Karbala, a holy city for Shia Muslims. Iran-aligned factions in Iraq also strongly condemned the US-Saudi strikes and called on the Iraqi government to take action.
