Videos show aftermath of US-Saudi strikes on Iraq PMF bases

US and Saudi forces launched coordinated airstrikes targeting Iran-backed Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) bases in Iraq, with videos circulating showing the destruction.

The United States and Saudi Arabia have conducted joint airstrikes against bases of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), an Iran-backed paramilitary group in Iraq. The coordinated attacks mark a significant escalation in the region, and videos have emerged on social media documenting the aftermath.

Footage shows destroyed military installations and plumes of smoke rising from the targeted sites. The PMF, which is closely tied to Iran, has been a key player in Iraqi security dynamics. The strikes underscore the deepening cooperation between Washington and Riyadh in countering Iranian influence.

No official casualty figures or damage assessments have been released yet. This incident is the latest in a series of confrontations between the US-led coalition and Iran-aligned forces in the Middle East. The region remains on high alert.
