Gate News message, April 18 — The U.S. State Department announced on April 17 that it has sanctioned seven commanders from multiple Iraqi militia organizations for planning and directing attacks against American personnel, facilities, and interests in Iraq.
According to the State Department, these “Iran-backed militia organizations” not only threaten the lives of Americans but also undermine Iraq’s sovereignty. The statement noted that U.S. diplomats were ambushed by Iraqi militia groups in Baghdad on April 8, and that hundreds of attacks targeting U.S. citizens, diplomatic facilities, and commercial interests have occurred within Iraqi territory over recent weeks.
The U.S. has called on the Iraqi government to immediately disband these organizations and prevent them from using Iraqi territory to conduct destabilizing terrorist activities in the region.
