The head of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Faleh al-Fayyad, confirmed from the western Ninawa operations area in northern Iraq that security preparedness along the Iraq-Syria border has been elevated.

In this regard, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported the deployment of military reinforcements along the border, extending as far as the center of al-Qaim district.

Al-Fayyad affirmed that Iraqi military commanders have stated the forces are fully prepared and operating according to planned strategies, with high morale and excellent readiness among the fighters stationed at the border.

On Wednesday, al-Fayyad confirmed the full readiness of the PMF and Iraqi security forces to confront terrorist groups.

Speaking from Ninawa province, he said, "The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces has ordered that all necessary resources be provided to support the security forces, who are committed to the country's safety and stability," pledging that Iraq "will remain secure and stable."

Al-Fayyad reaffirmed that "what is happening in Syria has direct repercussions on Iraqi national security," warning "whoever tries to advance into Iraq" against doing so.

For its part, the Media Directorate of the Popular Mobilization Forces announced that "Iraq is sending military reinforcements from the Popular Mobilization Forces and the army to the western border with Syria."

The deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament called for "activating intelligence efforts and coordinating with Syria, as well as brotherly and friendly countries, to exchange information," emphasizing the need to conduct "targeted preemptive operations to prevent the infiltration of terrorist groups."
