Iranian armed forces say they carried out new retaliatory missile attacks on positions of US “terrorist” forces and Israeli-backed separatist groups in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, according to a statement released on Wednesday.

The Iraqi anti-terror group Kata’ib Hezbollah has underlined that weapons serve as a guarantor for nations’ security against aggressors.

The Iraqi government has dismissed the Kurdish region’s allegations against Hashd al-Sha’abi forces, condemning them as unacceptable under any pretext.

The PMU chief says their victories in the fight against Daesh terrorist group are indebted to Iran, particularly late top anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

Iraq’s anti-terror Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) says it will remain faithful to Iran over the Islamic Republic’s support and assistance.

Iraqi anti-terror Popular Mobilization Units have deployed forces and military hardware to the country’s long border with Syria following Assad’s fall.

The Iraqi Foreign Ministry condemns as “blatant interference” the latest remarks by a US congressman to call Faiq Zidan, head of the country’s Supreme Judicial Council, as a “tool of Iranian influence” in Iraq.
