The attacks on US convoys and bases in Iraq are a response to the assassination of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Deputy-Commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units, and Iran’s Quds Force Commander Qassim Soleimani.
Today’s attacks demonstrate pro-Iranian groups commitment to their ultimate goal, which is to force US troops out of Iraq as soon as possible.
