Iraqi media outlets report that the United States struck a position of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (al-Hashd al-Shaabi) in Diyala province, eastern Iraq, killing at least three people. The claims are unverified and no official U.S. or Iraqi confirmation has been issued.
Iraqi media outlets are reporting that the United States carried out a strike on a position of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (al-Hashd al-Shaabi) in Diyala province, eastern Iraq, on Thursday afternoon. According to the reports, at least three people were killed. The claims are single-sourced at this stage and remain unverified by U.S., Iraqi, or independent sources. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple unverified claims of U.S.-Iranian-aligned militia engagements in Iraq — including alleged strikes on U.S. airfields in Iraqi Kurdistan in early June, and claims of Iranian-backed militia drone attacks on U.S. bases in northern Iraq — but these are background context, not confirmation of this specific incident. No footage or detailed targeting information has been released.
