March 24, 2026: Joint Israeli-American strike successfully decapitated the Iran-backed militia’s Al-Hashd al-Shaabi leadership in Anbar, Iraq. They eliminated its top Commander (Saad Al-Baiji), Security Chief (Haidar Al-Maamouri), and Intelligence Chief (Wathiq Al-Fartousi) in a single precision event.
These men led Iran-backed militias that coordinated drone and missile attacks against Western interests, managed illicit weapons smuggling across the Syrian border, and operated outside the control of the formal Iraqi military to project Iranian influence in the region. Prior to their elimination, these leaders orchestrated a relentless campaign of drone and missile strikes against U.S. assets, including a high-volume barrage of nearly 300 operations targeting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and airbases in Erbil as part of a “war of attrition” to force American withdrawal.
