The US Department of State designated an Iraqi-based terrorist group on June 17. “The Department of State today designated Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya (HAAA) and HAAA Secretary General Haydar Muzhir Ma’lak al-Sa’idi as Specially Designated Global Terrorists,” the US said. This is important because it shows the US continues to be focused on the threat of Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.
