Pro-Iranian militias send 800 forces to Iran to suppress protests

Pro-Iranian militias in Iraq have dispatched approximately 800 fighters to Iran to assist in suppressing ongoing protests. These individuals have crossed into Iran through three border crossings, disguised as pilgrims, and have been stationed at a base in the Ahvaz province.

This deployment follows a visit by Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force in the Revolutionary Guards, to Baghdad. The situation in Iran has been tense, with widespread protests occurring across the country.
