Iraqi security forces have initiated a series of raids in the heavily fortified Green Zone of Baghdad, targeting politicians, lawmakers, and senior government officials suspected of corruption. This operation, described as a significant anti-corruption campaign, follows an order from Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi.

Reports indicate that gunfire was exchanged during the raids, heightening tensions in the area.
