Armed clashes and exchange of fire between the coalition forces and the Mehdi army were reported in and around Najaf after a break down in negotiations, Al-Arabia television network reported.
An aide of rebel Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has said earlier that the US troops are in a position to attack Najaf "any moment." He warned that an American attack against Najaf would trigger a massive revolution.
The US had stationed forces outside both Najaf and Falluja, but their troops were so far held back.
