Washington imposes sanctions on the Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces

  The US has imposed sanctions on the Chief of Staff of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, Abdul Aziz al-Muhammadawi, known as (Abu Fadak). The US State Department stated that Abdul Aziz Mullah Mujirish al-Muhammadawi is recognized as a global terrorist, and listed in the Executive Order 13224, adding that “Al-Muhammadawi” is the former Secretary-General of Kata’ib Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran and seeks to support Tehran’s evil agenda in the region, and which the US recognized as a terrorist organization. 

Meanwhile, political experts see that the recent sanctions against the leadership of the PMF would offer an opening for serious work for other personalities opposing the PMF.
