Sadr spokesman demands PMF probe; PMF denies Fayyadh was forewarned

WHAT HAPPENED

On 10 August, Shafaq News, 964media and The New Region each reported that a spokesman for Muqtada al-Sadr had called for an internal investigation into the Popular Mobilization Forces leadership's alleged failure to notify or evacuate its bases ahead of the US-Saudi strikes. Within the same hours, Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) aired a segment reporting that the Popular Mobilization Forces denied Falih al-Fayyadh had advance knowledge of the Saudi-American bombardment. Three separate outlets carrying the Sadrist demand and a militia-owned channel carrying the counter-line make this credible as to what was said; none of the supplied material establishes what the bases were or were not told.

WHY IT MATTERS

The dispute is over who answers for casualties and force protection inside the Popular Mobilization Forces, and it is being argued in public by a non-militia Shia current against the Popular Mobilization Forces leadership rather than settled internally.
