This is the best summary I could come up with:
A huge blast rocked a military base used by Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) to the south of Baghdad on Friday with Iraqi sources alleging the attack to Israel and the US.
Significant strikes were carried out overnight between Friday and Saturday against targets of Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, south of Baghdad, as reported by Saudi-owned Al-Hadath network.
Additionally, Iraqi media claimed that the attack was carried out by a number of drones targeting a military base belonging to the militias.
Additionally, the Iraqi sources claimed that among the waves of bombings to the south of the city Baghdad, an arsenal of weapons belonging to Iranian militias was attacked.
On January 2024, a US airstrike foiled an attack on Ain al-Asad air base, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq.
With 900 troops in Syria and 2,500 more in Iraq, the US claimed their mission is to advise and assist local forces trying to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State.
