Endless War 2

Who is the shadowy Iraqi militia that attacked the UAE

According to the Washington Institute for Near-East Policy, the True Promise Brigades has ties to Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah, or Hezbollah Brigades, an Iran-backed group listed by the US as a “terrorist organisation”.

The Washington-based think-tank also said the group could be under the direct control of Iran’s elite Quds Force, whose former commander Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US air attack on Baghdad airport in January 2020.

I don't really trust this article. 

Middle East militias are a murky subject with all sides shaping stories for their own political ends. The Washington Institute for Near-East Policy exists mainly to make sure the US and Israeli view of Iran stays front-and-center in the minds of Americans so take this story with a grain of salt.
