Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis
Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis was an influential Iraqi military commander and the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a coalition of militias that played a significant role in combating ISIS in Iraq. He was closely aligned with Iran and regarded as a key figure in shaping Iraq's military and political landscape. Al-Muhandis was killed in a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad in January 2020, alongside Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, which exacerbated tensions between the U.S. and Iran and affected Iraq's internal politics.
