Two social media accounts reported on 12 November that Iraqi security units were in armed confrontation in and around Baghdad. The claims are unverified, and no official Iraqi statement was cited in the material available.
The account @sentdefender posted that there were initial reports of a serious incident in which the Iraqi Army was in active hostilities against Iraqi Special Forces in the Green Zone 1. The post excerpt does not name a cause, give casualty figures or say where inside the zone the fighting took place.
A separate claim attributed to the same account, that Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) elements were trying to storm the area near the U.S. Embassy, is not contained in the excerpt of that post available here, so it is not independently supported 1.
The account @Tammuz_Intel posted that a joint task force of the Iraqi Army's 9th Armored Division and a Counter Terrorist Service unit was trying to storm the Jurf al-Sakhar district in southern Baghdad 2. The post does not say whether the operation is linked to the reported Green Zone fighting or who the units are facing.
The two posts describe different locations and different parties, and they do not corroborate each other in detail. No deaths or injuries have been reported, and neither post gave evidence such as video or imagery in the excerpts available.
The reports come amid heightened regional tension. A separate unconfirmed report on 12 November said Israel had ordered military preparations for a possible attack on Iran, with Tehran threatening retaliation. Another unconfirmed report from 11 November described an Iranian mediation proposal conveyed during the Iraqi prime minister's visit to Tehran. Neither report has been linked to the events in Baghdad.
It remains unclear whether any fighting occurred in the Green Zone, which forces were involved, and whether the Jurf al-Sakhar operation is a planned security action or part of a wider confrontation.
