Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces said at least 20 of its fighters were killed and dozens wounded in U.S.–Saudi strikes on headquarters across Baghdad, Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk, Karbala and Diyala. AP reported six Iranian advisers among the dead.
Saudi participation followed militia drone attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and a defense-minister visit to Washington underscoring both willingness to hit back and desire for U.S.–Iran de-escalation, AP sources said.
