Hamas strongly criticized the reported explosions at a base of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq, terming it a violation of Iraq's sovereignty.
The group held the Biden administration responsible, alleging its support for actions against Palestinians led to the escalation.
The blasts, reportedly targeting a PMF headquarters at the Kalso military base near Iskandariya, occurred south of Baghdad. The US denied involvement and Israeli officials, while not publicly commenting, reportedly denied any role.
