Recently, Iraq's media commission made a significant announcement regarding the license of a Saudi television station operating in the country. This decision followed a disturbing incident where supporters of Iraqi militias raided and looted the office of the broadcaster, MBC, in Baghdad. The protest stemmed from a report by MBC that labeled several Iranian-linked militant figures, including a prominent Iraqi militia leader, as 'terrorists.'
The report mentioned a list of individuals, including former al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a key figure in the Popular Mobilization Forces and founder of Kataeb Hezbollah.
