Iran International · United Kingdom (Iranian opposition diaspora, London) · Iraq arrests 47 officials in pre-dawn Green Zone raid, including a deputy oil minister and thirteen MPs
Earliest English-language filing (01:20 Iran time, ~22:00 UTC June 27), suggesting Iran International had early independent Baghdad sources. Reports 30+ arrested per their own count vs. INA's 47, reflecting coverage before the sweep concluded. Frames the arrests as targeting Iranian-aligned political networks and patronage channels embedded in Iraqi ministries, emphasising the correlation with Iran FM Araghchi's arrival in Baghdad the same morning.
