Reports: Iraqi Shia Militias Sent to Aid Crackdown
Multiple reports indicate approximately 800 fighters from Iraqi Shia militia groups, including Kata'ib Hezbollah and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, have crossed into Iran to assist with protest suppression. The fighters are reportedly deployed to Khuzestan and border areas. Iraq's government denies the reports. Iran's IRGC dismisses the claims as 'baseless propaganda.'
