Thabet Mohammed Said Al-Abbasi

Thabet Mohammed Said Al-Abbasi is an Iraqi military leader currently serving as the Minister of Defense. He gained attention recently for ordering the dismissal of the dean of the fourth military college and the commanding officer of a battalion in Nasiriyah following a tragic incident in which a student died and eight others were injured during a health emergency related to the extreme heat during their training. His decision reflects a commitment to accountability within the military education system.
