Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has paid tribute to Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a prominent figure among allied Iraqi fighters, by visiting his grave in Najaf, Iraq. This visit was part of a broader trip by an Iranian parliamentary delegation, according to Iran’s Student News Network. Al-Muhandis, who served as the deputy commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces, was killed in a US drone strike alongside Iran’s general Qassem Soleimani near Baghdad International Airport in January 2020. The visit also included stops at the graves of other members of Iran-backed Iraqi armed groups.
