An Arab ally’s forces in Iran? The strange new front line no one expected, Trump & Hegseth in shock?

Are troops from a U.S. ally now fighting for Iran? Unverified videos circulating online appear to show Iran-aligned Iraqi fighters on the streets of Tehran, raising serious questions about Baghdad’s role in the conflict. Amid a fragile ceasefire push by Donald Trump, reports suggest Iran has granted greater autonomy to Iraqi militias, many still funded through Iraq’s state system. With factions operating under Iranian advisers and decentralized command, the lines between ally and proxy are blurring fast—fueling concerns that Washington may be losing its grip over a key regional partner.
