The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) completely denied political accusations against its leadership regarding alleged prior knowledge of strikes on security headquarters and a failure to inform military units. In an official statement, the PMF confirmed that all forces had been placed on high alert since the onset of regional escalations. The statement noted that all units were notified to exercise maximum caution prior to the attack, which significantly mitigated casualties. The PMF clarified that the failure of one specific unit to adhere to standard preventive measures resulted in the highest number of casualties. The leadership has ordered an urgent investigation to determine the circumstances of this negligence and hold those responsible accountable. The PMF condemned the political exploitation of the victims' blood, emphasizing its right to take strict legal action against anyone who spreads false information or makes baseless accusations.
