US offers $10M for Iran-backed militia leader

The United States has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information on Haydar al-Gharawi, the Secretary General of Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya. The militia is part of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces and the broader Islamic Resistance in Iraq. The State Department's offer follows a recent disclosure by the US Embassy in Baghdad that the same group targeted American diplomats near Baghdad International Airport earlier this month. This reward program is a key part of the Trump administration's pressure campaign against Iranian proxy forces in Iraq.
