伊拉克总理穆罕默德·希亚·苏达尼正面临越来越多的批评，因其政府未能阻止亲伊朗民兵和伊朗伊斯兰共和国对驻伊美国、法国、意大利及库尔德军事人员和设施发动袭击。
周六，美国驻巴格达大使馆表示，所有在伊拉克的美国公民应”立即离开”，”因为与伊朗结盟的恐怖组织多次袭击了巴格达市中心的国际区”。
据报道，周六早些时候，一枚导弹击中了美国驻巴格达大使馆内的一个停机坪，随后发出了这一警告。
美国国务院一名发言人在不具名的情况下告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》：”美国强烈谴责伊朗及其支持的恐怖组织对美国外交人员和设施、民用目标以及伊拉克能源基础设施的袭击，尤其是在伊拉克库尔德地区。”

发言人补充道：”正如鲁比奥国务卿所说，伊拉克政府必须采取一切可能措施，保护美国外交人员和设施，确保民兵组织无法利用伊拉克领土威胁美国或该地区。这样做符合伊拉克的利益。我们保留一系列保护利益的选择。我们不会预告制裁或制裁行动。”
一名不愿具名的库尔德官员告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》，伊朗支持的伊拉克人民动员组织（PMF）”由伊拉克政府发薪并装备，他们拿的是伊拉克政府的工资。这并非首次袭击美国、库尔德自治区（KRG）和能源部门。这些PMF曾公然袭击美军基地。”
该官员称：”许多这些领导人（来自PMF）是苏达尼政府及其联盟的成员。”
周日，伊拉克驻华盛顿大使馆一名官员在向《福克斯新闻数字版》发表的声明中，断然否认了对苏达尼的指控。”我们要明确确认，指控总理为任何武装团体向美国或西方利益提供’绿灯’的说法完全是虚假的。伊拉克政府多次强调坚决反对任何针对外交使团或外国利益的袭击。”
该代表补充道：”总理还发表了几份谴责此类行为的声明，称其为恐怖主义活动，并指示有关当局追捕责任人并将其绳之以法。”
苏达尼上周因祝贺伊朗伊斯兰共和国选定新最高领袖穆贾塔巴·哈梅内伊而引发关注。穆贾塔巴是被暗杀的伊朗第二任最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊的儿子。据报道，苏达尼称：”我们相信伊朗伊斯兰共和国新领导层有能力管理这一敏感阶段，并继续加强伊朗人民在面对当前挑战时的团结。”
当被问及向哈梅内伊的祝贺声明时，伊拉克大使馆官员表示：”这一行动属于许多国家（包括几个海湾国家）进行的标准外交做法范畴。伊拉克与包括伊朗在内的邻国保持外交关系，同时确保与所有地区和国际伙伴的平衡关系。”

周五，针对伊拉克库尔德自治区国际反极端组织联盟的袭击升级，造成一名法国士兵死亡，另有六人受伤。法国24台报道，指挥官弗朗索瓦-泽维尔·德·拉谢奈说，法国士兵阿诺·弗里昂是被伊朗设计的沙赫德致命无人机杀害的。
伊拉克库尔德新闻机构Rudaw周六报道，”星期六早些时候，库尔德地区遭到七架载有爆炸物的无人机袭击，伊朗及其在伊拉克的代理势力继续袭击埃尔比勒的美国领事馆和地区内其他军事及民用设施。”Rudaw称，自美国”史诗狂怒”行动开始以来，库尔德地区已遭到300多起无人机和导弹袭击，造成7人死亡、35人受伤。
库尔德官员抱怨苏达尼的”政府对打击这些民兵组织不认真，因为这些民兵本身就是政府的一部分。”但该官员赞扬美国”上周开始积极打击他们的据点”。
《长期战争杂志》报道称：”空袭可能是美国作为美以行动的一部分，继续针对伊朗支持的伊拉克民兵。”美国和以色列均未就打击PMF的报道置评。
福克斯新闻数字版在3月初从以色列国防军处获得信息，称自战争开始以来，已有无人机从伊拉克领土发射至以色列。
PMF告诉伊拉克通讯社，自2月28日以来，美军已对PMF总部发动32次空袭。
库尔德官员敦促特朗普政府”要求伊拉克政府停止向PMF支付薪金和提供武器，并打击为PMF提供资金的银行系统。”该官员继续说：”我们已向伊拉克和美国分享信息，美国随后也向伊拉克政府分享了这些信息。”关于PMF的恐怖主义活动，该官员称：”苏达尼政府一直不愿对抗他们。”

该官员抱怨苏达尼政府去年进行了”几次逮捕，但这些人交保释金后逃脱并前往伊朗。”库尔德自治区向伊拉克政府提供了逃往伊朗的肇事者信息。
一名伊拉克官员驳斥了关于PMF恐怖主义的报道：”我从未听说过这种事。我认为那不是真的。”
库尔德官员称，PMF中最敌视美国的两个团体是”正义联盟”（Asaib Ahl al Haq）和真主党旅。特朗普政府2024年3月对”正义联盟”实施了制裁，国务院称该组织及其领导人是伊朗伊斯兰共和国的暴力代理人，”得到伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队圣城部队的大量资金和训练支持。”
美国政府2023年对真主党旅实施了制裁。库尔德官员还指控苏达尼政府对伊拉克库尔德自治区实施进口商品禁运，”以剥夺我们30年来建立的自治权和一切成果。”库尔德自治区被广泛认为是美国的坚定盟友。
伊拉克官员否认实施禁运：”联邦政府并未对库尔德地区实施’禁运’政策。当前措施旨在根据联邦宪法统一所有伊拉克边境的法律、海关和贸易框架。
“任何国家都无法承受矛盾的国内贸易和海关制度，这可能损害整个国民经济。我们的目标是建立一个统一、公平的经济框架，在尊重地区特殊性的同时保护国家收入，我们认为通过对话与合作能最好地实现这一目标。”

伊拉克前副总理发言人安蒂法·坎巴尔告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》：”甚至可以说PMF是伊朗革命卫队的伊拉克分支，实际上就是伊拉克伊斯兰革命卫队。PMF通过民兵网络运作，经常袭击美军、外国利益和库尔德地区目标。”
他主张”解散母体组织——PMF本身。只要PMF存在，其伞下的民兵组织将继续袭击美军和地区目标。”

US warns Iraq must act against Iran-backed militia attacks on American assets
Last week, Prime Minister al-Sudani raised eyebrows after congratulating Iran on selecting Mojtaba Khamenei as its new supreme leader

Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is facing mounting criticism for his government’s inability to stop pro-Iranian militias and the Islamic Republic of Iran from attacking American, French, Italian and Kurdish military personnel and facilities in Iraq.
On Saturday, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad said that all U.S. citizens in Iraq should leave “immediately,” as “Iran-aligned terrorist militias have attacked the International Zone in central Baghdad on multiple occasions.”
The announcement came after a missile reportedly struck a helipad inside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad early Saturday.
Speaking on background, a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “The United States strongly condemns attacks by Iran and Iran-backed terrorist militias against U.S. diplomatic personnel and facilities, civilian targets and energy infrastructure in Iraq, particularly in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region.”

The statement added, “As Secretary Rubio has said, the Iraqi government must take all possible measures to safeguard U.S. diplomatic personnel and facilities and ensure militia groups cannot use Iraqi territory to threaten the United States or the region. Doing so is in Iraq’s interest,” the spokesperson noted, “We retain a range of options to protect our interests. We do not preview sanctions or sanction actions.”
A Kurdish official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Fox News Digital that the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq “are paid and armed by the Iraqi government. They are on the Iraqi payroll. This is not the first time they have fired on the U.S., the Kurdistan Regional Government [KRG] and the energy sector. These PMF have brazenly attacked U.S. military bases.”
According to the official, “Many of these leaders [from the PMF] are part of al-Sudani’s government and his very coalition.”
In a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday, an official for Iraq’s Embassy in Washington, D.C., flatly denied the allegations against al-Sudani. “We would like to unequivocally confirm that the allegations claiming the Prime Minister granted a ‘green light’ to any armed group to target U.S. or Western interests are completely false. The Iraqi government has repeatedly emphasized its firm rejection of any attacks on diplomatic missions or foreign interests.”
The representative added, “The Prime Minister has also issued several statements condemning such acts, describing them as terrorist activities, and has directed the relevant authorities to pursue those responsible and bring them to justice.”
Al-Sudani raised eyebrows last week when he congratulated the Islamic Republic of Iran’s selection of its new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the assassinated second Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. “We express our confidence in the ability of the new leadership in the Islamic Republic of Iran to manage this sensitive stage, and continue to strengthen the unity of the Iranian people in facing the current challenges,” al-Sudani reportedly said.
When asked about the congratulatory statement to Khamenei, the Iraqi Embassy official said, “This action falls within the scope of standard diplomatic practices carried out by many countries, including several Gulf states. Iraq maintains diplomatic relations with neighboring countries, including Iran, while simultaneously ensuring balanced relations with all its regional and international partners.”

The intensified attacks on the international anti-jihadi coalition in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region on Friday resulted in the death of a French soldier and injuries to six other people. According to France 24, the commanding officer, Colonel Francois-Xavier de la Chesnais, said the French soldier, Arnaud Frion, was murdered by an Iranian-designed Shahed lethal drone.
The Iraqi Kurdish news outlet Rudaw reported on Saturday that the “Kurdistan Region was targeted with seven explosive-laden drones early Saturday as Iran and its proxy forces in Iraq continue to target the U.S. consulate in Erbil and other military and civilian sites in the Region.” Rudaw said since the start of U.S. Operation Epic Fury the Kurdistan area has been targeted with over 300 drone and missile attacks, resulting in the killing of seven people and 35 injured.
The Kurdish official complained that al-Sudani’s “government is not serious about taking on militias because the militias are part of the government.” However, the official praised the U.S. “The Americans are going after them aggressively over the last week with attacks on their [PMF] positions.”

According to a Long War Journal report, “Airstrikes, likely conducted by the U.S. as part of the U.S.-Israeli operation against the Islamic Republic, have continued targeting Iran-backed Iraqi militias.” Neither the U.S. nor Israel have commented on reports that they are striking the PMF.
Fox News Digital secured information in early March from the Israeli Defense Forces that drones have been fired at Israel from Iraqi territory since the start of the war.
The PMF told the Iraqi News Agency that American military forces have conducted 32 airstrikes against PMF headquarters since February 28.
The Kurdish official urged the Trump administration to “demand that Iraq’s government stop paying and arming the PMF and target their banking system that finances the PMF.” The official continued, “We have shared information with the Iraqis and the Americans, who have in turn shared information with the Iraqi government.” On the terrorist activities of the PMF the official said, “The al-Sudani government has been unwilling to confront them.”

The official bemoaned that the al-Sudani government initiated a “handful of arrests last year, and they were released on bail and were able to flee to Iran.” The Kurdish official said the KRG “provided the information to the Iraqi government about the perpetrators” who fled to the Islamic Republic.
An Iraqi official dismissed the reports on PMF terrorists, stating,” I have not heard of such a thing. I guess that’s not true.”
The Kurdish official cited two PMF groups as the most bellicose toward the U.S.: Asaib Ahl al Haq (League of the Righteous) and Kataib Hezbollah. The Trump administration sanctioned Asaib Ahl al Haq in March 2024. The State Department said Asaib Ahl al Haq “and its leaders are violent proxies of the Islamic Republic of Iran” and the group “is extensively funded and trained by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Qods Force.”
The U.S. government sanctioned Kataib Hezbollah in 2023. The Kurdish official also charged the al-Sudani’s government with imposing an embargo on imported goods to Iraqi Kurdistan as a way “to strip away our autonomy and everything we can built over 30 years.” The autonomous Kurdish government is widely considered a robust pro-American ally.

The Iraqi official denied the embargo, stating, “The federal government does not pursue a policy of ‘embargo’ against the Kurdistan Region. The current measures aim to unify the legal, customs, and trade framework across all Iraqi borders in line with the federal constitution.
“No country can afford contradictory internal trade and customs regimes, as this risks harming the national economy as a whole. Our objective is a unified, fair economic framework that protects state revenues while respecting the region’s specificities, and we believe this is best achieved through dialogue and cooperation.”

Entifadh Qanbar, a former spokesman for the deputy prime minister of Iraq, told Fox News Digital that “One could even describe the PMF as the Iraqi branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, effectively functioning as an Iraqi Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The PMF operates through a network of militias that frequently attack U.S. forces, foreign interests, and targets in Kurdistan.”
He argued for “The dismantling of the mother organization — the PMF itself. As long as the PMF exists, militias operating under its umbrella will continue to attack U.S. forces and regional targets.”
