epa11125356 Members of the Iraqi Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) carry images of their comrades, who were killed in recent US air strikes in western Iraq, during a funeral procession in Baghdad, Iraq, 04 February 2024. The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said on 02 February it carried out airstrikes in Iraq and Syria on more than 85 targets against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups. The US attacks were in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three US service members in Jordan the week before. The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) announced that 16 of its members were killed and 36 others wounded in US air strikes that targeted eight locations in Al-Anbar Governorate, western Iraq, near the Iraqi-Syrian border. The Iraqi government has condemned the retaliatory US strikes against pro-Iran militants on its territory as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty. EPA/AHMED JALIL
