Miqdad al-Khafaji confirmed that recent U.S.-Israeli airstrikes targeted Iraqi security sites, including the Popular Mobilization Forces and Federal Police, killing 19 personnel and injuring dozens. He stated there were no confirmed U.S. ground troop landings but accused the attacks of violating Iraq’s sovereignty. In response, Parliament is preparing a draft law to cancel the security agreement with the United States, though discussions have been delayed amid political debate. The strikes are part of “Operation Epic Fury,” launched on February 28, 2026, and have triggered retaliatory shelling in northern Iraq.
