Key Iran-supported militant factions operating in Iraq
Several prominent armed groups in Iraq receive support from Iran, such as Kataib Hezbollah, the Badr Organisation, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (League of the Righteous), Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, and Kata'ib al-Imam Ali. Kataib Hezbollah, established in the mid-2000s, boasts a force of up to 10,000 fighters. Meanwhile, the Badr Organisation, which has strong ties to Iraqi governance, traces its origins back to the Iran-Iraq War when it was first organized within Iran.
