U.S. airstrike kills 15 Iran-backed fighters in Iraq.

A U.S. airstrike in Iraq’s Anbar province on Tuesday killed 15 members of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces, including a senior commander, according to Iraqi security sources. The group condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty. The strike occurred amid escalating regional tensions following the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, which has triggered attacks on U.S. bases and military sites across the region.
