A senior official in the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq said Thursday morning that the groups are preparing a response within 72 hours, according to a report by ynet. The official did not specify the target, trigger, or nature of the planned action.
The statement comes amid weeks of heightened rhetoric from Iran-aligned factions in Iraq, as The Zioneer has previously reported. On Wednesday, the Islamic Movement in Iraq vowed a response was "on the way, no doubt," without providing details. Iranian military sources have also issued warnings of potential strikes against US bases in the region in recent weeks.
No independent verification of the claim was immediately available. The ynet report is the sole source for this statement.
