US Designates Iran-Backed Iraqi Group as Global Terrorists

Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya linked to attacks on US forces and threats to Israel, highlighting ongoing regional tensions.

The US State Department has officially labeled Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya (HAAA) and its leader as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
HAAA, part of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, has been involved in multiple attacks on US military personnel in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan.
The group is aligned with Iran and has also posed significant threats to Israel through claimed drone and missile attacks.
This designation underscores the US commitment to countering Iran's influence and the activities of its proxy militias in the region.
The move follows similar designations of other Iran-aligned groups, reflecting escalating regional conflict and US strategic responses.
