Fear attack in Baghdad, high commander of Iranian-backed militants killed

According to the X platform report, the crackdown was in response to attacks on American soldiers.

There is no data at the moment for other consequences or civil victim”, says the Central Command.

The drone attack in Baghdad targeted Wisssam Mohammad al-Saadin, senior commander of Iran-backed militant group, an American official told Voice.

The attack targeted a car in the Iraqi capital Wednesday evening, killing three members of the Kataib Hezbollah militant group, including the top commander, US officials said.

The attack came on a major road in the Mastal district of eastern Baghdad.

The blow comes amid tensions in the region and several days after the US Army seized an air strike against dozens of targets in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and Iranian Revolutionary Guard, in response to an attack that killed three American troops in Jordan in late January.

The United States has blamed the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a broad coalition of Iranian-backed militant groups for the Jordan attack, and officials have said they think it is in particular Kataib Hezbollah leading it.

Islamic resistance in Iraq has often claimed responsibility for attacks on bases that accommodate American troops in Iraq and Syria as the Israeli-Haams war continues, saying Washington's support for Israel in the Gaza war, which killed 27,707 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health on Hamas-led territory. / VOA
