The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-aligned Shiite militias, issued a statement threatening to directly attack US interests and bases in Iraq and the region if Washington expands its military campaign against Iran. The group also claimed it has not conducted any attacks on US bases in recent days, according to Abu Ali Express.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella term for Iran-aligned Shiite militias, issued a statement on Monday threatening to directly join the fight against the United States if Washington's military campaign against Iran expands. The group warned it would act with 'strength and determination' against all American interests and bases in Iraq and the region, according to the statement carried by Abu Ali Express.
The statement also claimed that the Iraqi militias have not carried out any attacks on US bases in recent days, a departure from earlier periods of frequent harassment fire. The denial appears aimed at shaping the narrative around the current US-Iran confrontation.
The warning adds to a series of statements from Iran-aligned groups in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, the Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq threatened to attack US bases in early June, and the IRGC has repeatedly vowed to retaliate against any American strikes. The US military has maintained readiness for further strikes on Iran, according to US officials.
The threat is unverified and the group's operational capability to carry out a coordinated campaign against US assets remains unclear. No specific targets or timeline were mentioned.
