An Iraqi fighter of the Hashed al Shaabi (Popular Mobilisation) paramilitary units walks past a poster depicting late Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis (R) and Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani, in the capital Baghdad on December 30, 2020, ahead of the first anniversary of their killing in a US drone attack. On January 3, Iraq will mark a year since a US drone strike killed al-Muhandis, the deputy head of Iraq's powerful Tehran-aligned Hashed Al-Shaabi paramilitary network, alongside Soleimani, head of the elite external operations of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, nearly sparking a conflict that many fear could still ignite.
