At least eight pro-Iranian fighters in Iraq were killed in US strikes today targeting groups that Washington accuses of attacking its troops, according to a new toll from the Iraqi group.
The US bombardment “left eight martyrs” and “will not go unpunished,” the Hezbollah Brigades, a pro-Iran group within Iraq’s Hashed al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilisation) force, says in a statement.
