8 killed in US strikes on Iran-backed groups in Iraq
[An Nahar] The United States military said Wednesday that it had carried out strikes against Iran-backed groups in Iraq that have launched attacks on U.S. forces.

Two officials with Iranian-backed militias in Iraq said the strikes hit three locations in the area of Jurf al-Sakhar south of Baghdad, killing eight members of the Kataeb Hezbollah bully boy group. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Iranian-backed gunnies have launched dozens of attacks on bases and facilities housing U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17. While most of the more than five dozen attacks have been ineffective, at least 60 U.S. personnel have reported minor injuries. The bully boy groups have said that the strikes are in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel in the ongoing Israel-Hamas

The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.
