Washington threatens to strike Iraqi factions and end support for the government

Iraq ·

Sources said Washington warned Baghdad during a phone call between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi that it could carry out strong military strikes on armed factions and their leaders if they join any future regional escalation. The sources added that the state's lax approach to keeping weapons in state hands is pushing Washington to reassess its support.

Iraq's armed factions, many of them part of the Popular Mobilization Forces and aligned with Iran, have been a central issue in Washington's Iraq policy, and US forces have previously struck such groups in Iraq.
