Secret Desert Base Claim: Iraq’s Joint Operations Command pushed back on reports of a secret Israeli base in the western desert, saying no unauthorized foreign forces are operating and warning against “unverified information,” after an earlier March 5 clash near al-Nukhaib. PMF Security Sweep: The Popular Mobilization Forces launched “Imposing Sovereignty,” a 120+ km operation across Najaf and Karbala desert areas, with search and clearance teams stretching toward the Saudi border. Strait of Hormuz Pressure: Iraq is cutting May oil prices by up to $33 a barrel to keep exports moving through the risky waterway, shifting risk to buyers via contract terms. Healthcare & Research: Military health researchers met in Bethesda to focus on “warfighter readiness,” while Humacyte named Dr. Todd E. Rasmussen as Chief Surgical Officer to support clinical adoption. Iraq Care Milestone: Iraq reported the success of its first liver transplant in Karbala.
