"Iraqi PM Denounces US Airstrike Killing Militia Leader, Seeks End to Coalition Presence"

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has condemned a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad that killed Mushtaq Taleb al-Saidi, a high-ranking militia commander of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba. The strike, which also wounded six others, was deemed a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and bypassed the Iraqi government. The U.S. justified the attack, stating al-Saidi was responsible for recent attacks on U.S. personnel. The incident has escalated tensions, with calls for U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq and comes amid heightened instability in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.
