The U.S. designated an Iraqi identified as “the former secretary general of Kataib Hizbollah”, a PMU militia, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). According to the State Department, the individual was “working in conjunction with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Quds Force to reshape official Iraqi state security institutions away from their true purpose of defending the Iraqi state and fighting ISIS, to instead support Iran’s malign activities”.
