โก๐ฎ๐ถ There was a confrontation between Iraqi military elements who tried to force themselves into a PMF base in Sadr City
However, they couldn't gain entry, and before the situation could escalate, they withdrew.
The Iraqi military intended to remove drones from the premise of the PMF base.
This happened earlier this morning, and may be related to tonight's movements.

๐ฎ๐ถ The force from Baghdad operations stormed the headquarters of the Special Operations Command affiliated with Akram al-Kaabi, the leader of the Najba movement, in the Jurf al-Nasr area.

Would the Iraqi military actually turn on the PMF? Is it even in a state to do such a thing successfully?
I very much doubt their ability, but I think they'll keep trying.
But aren't PMF and other Iraqi resistance groups popular among the people? Surely there are gonna be pro PMF guys inside the army too
Hence why I see it as a fool's errand, yet if you're doing the bidding of Washington, I expect nothing but fools.
