A U.S. strike in Baghdad on January 4 killed a military commander of the PMF, an ex-paramilitary faction of the grouping said, with an Iraqi security official reporting two deaths in a drone attack. Harakat al-Nujaba, one of the PMF's factions, said in a statement that "the deputy commander of operations for Baghdad, Mushtaq Talib al-Saidi", had been "martyred in a US strike".

The U.S. reportedly killed a member of an Iranian-backed militant group Thursday in Iraq. The strike comes after Iran itself was convulsed by bombings that killed dozens.
