Syria warned Iraq that any attack launched from Iraqi territory will draw a response, and separately alerted Baghdad about suspicious Shiite militia activity near the border, according to a flash report. The warning was conveyed directly to the Iraqi government.
In a Saturday evening flash report, Syria reportedly warned Iraq that any attack launched from Iraqi territory would draw a military response, and separately alerted Baghdad about suspicious Shiite militia activity near the border. The warning was conveyed directly to the Iraqi government.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday (20:49 Jerusalem), Syria had already sent a similar warning to Baghdad, following a similar warning from Jordan. The new detail explicitly mentions Shiite militia activity near the border, suggesting heightened concern over cross-border attacks.
The report did not specify the nature of the militia activity or provide further details. The warning comes amid a broader regional escalation involving Iran-aligned militias and Gulf states.
