Iraqi security forces conducted a raid in the Green Zone of Baghdad, targeting political figures involved in a corruption case.

The Iraqi security forces conducted a raid on Sunday morning in the Green Zone, a fortified enclave in the center of Baghdad that houses the U.S. embassy and various international institutions.

The operation was ordered by a court and aimed at arresting high-ranking officials involved in financial corruption cases. The raid involved anti-terrorist and military forces, but no details were provided about the arrested individuals. Images broadcast on local channels show soldiers in heavy vehicles, including tanks, inside the complex.

The new Prime Minister of Iraq, Ali al-Zaidi, has promised to address the issue of corruption that has plagued the country for decades, and these actions are part of his commitment to combat the mismanagement of resources.
