<p>A U.S. drone strike killed multiple Iranian-backed terrorist leaders on Wednesday night in Baghdad, Iraq, according to initial reports.</p>
<p>The strike comes after the Biden administration was widely criticized last week for repeatedly telegraphing its plans to hit certain targets in Iraq and Syria in response to Iranian-backed terrorists killing three U.S. soldiers and wounding dozens more in a suicide drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan.</p>
<p>&#8220;U.S. drone struck [an] SUV driving through Baghdad with a hellfire missile killing three in the car,&#8221; said Hussain Abdul-Hussain, Research Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD). &#8220;Of them, two leaders from the Iran loyalist Iraq militia Kataeb Hezbollah (Abu Baqer Al-Saidi and Arkan Al-Aliyawi).&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;At least one is believed to be responsible for the militia&#8217;s operations in Syria, from where the militia launched an explosive drone that hit a U.S. base in Jordan and killed three U.S. troops,&#8221; Abdul-Hussain added. &#8220;America&#8217;s long arm of justice.&#8221;</p>
<p>A source <a href="https://www.barrons.com/news/drone-strikes-hit-vehicle-in-baghdad-security-sources-55483b1f">told</a> Agence France Presse (AFP) that a drone “fired three rockets at a 4X4 car”.</p>
<p>A U.S. official confirmed to VOA News that the U.S. was behind the strike on the high-value target.</p>
