A high-ranking commander of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMUS) says Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi’s confirmation of the Zionist regime’s responsibility for a string of attacks on positions of the Iraqi pro-government forces makes retaliation legitimate.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi says his country’s armed forces are fully prepared to respond firmly to any act of aggression launched either from outside or inside Iraq.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei says the Baghdad government should expel US forces from Iraq as soon as possible.
