Tehran, IRNA -- An Iraqi security source has denied media reports suggesting that the martyrdom of Qasim Mosleh, a commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), has died in airstrikes by the United States.
A Saturday report by the Al-Malouma news website said the source had denied some media reports about the martyrdom of Qasim Mosleh, a notable PMF commander, in US airstrikes on positions in western Anbar province.
The source said that such media reports about targeting of PMF commanders are aimed at disrupting the security situation in Anbar.
The United States carried out airstrikes on dozens of positions in Iraq and Syria early on Saturday in response to an attack last month on one of its outposts in Jordan that killed three US service members and injured dozens more.
