The Lebanese network Al-Mayadeen, citing intelligence sources, reports that unidentified groups are preparing an invasion of Iran using Iraqi territory as a base. The report follows the network's earlier claim that Kurdish groups were preparing a ground attack from northern Iraq.
Al-Mayadeen reported early Sunday that intelligence sources confirm groups are preparing an invasion of Iran from Iraqi territory. The report, published at 01:51 Jerusalem, cites unnamed sources and does not identify the groups or provide a timeline. It follows the network's earlier bulletin at 01:39 Jerusalem, which claimed Kurdish groups were preparing a ground attack from northern Iraq.
The claim comes amid a broader regional escalation in which Iranian-backed militias have used Iraqi soil as a launchpad for strikes on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, as The Zioneer has previously documented. The IRGC has been accused of coordinating cross-border operations from Iraq, and Tehran views Kurdish opposition groups in the north as a persistent threat. The new report, if accurate, would mark a significant intensification of planned operations against Iran itself.
