Iranian MP: US Seeks to Wipe Out Iran-Backed Armed Groups After Iraq Strikes
An Iranian parliament member asserted that the United States is trying to eliminate Tehran-backed armed groups regionally, following reported U.S. and Saudi strikes on Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces.
A member of Iran's parliament has alleged that the United States is actively seeking to dismantle Tehran-backed armed factions across the Middle East.
The comment follows media reports of joint U.S. and Saudi Arabian strikes targeting bases of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a coalition of mostly Shia militias with deep ties to Iran.
The assertion highlights the heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran’s network of regional proxies, though no further details on the timing or scale of the reported operations were immediately provided.
