Iraqi Group Claims Responsibility For Drone Attack On U.S. Al-Tanf Base In Syria, Shares Footage

The official banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq – al-Warithin Formation.

A shadowy Iraqi armed group that is thought to be affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for the January 20 drone attack on the United States-led coalition’s al-Tanf garrison in southeastern Syria.

In a statement released on January 21, the group, which calls itself the Islamic Resistance in Iraq – al-Warithin Formation, said that the attack was a response to the assassination of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Deputy-Commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, and Commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force, Qassim Soleimani. The two leaders were killed in a U.S. drone strike near the airport of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, more than three years ago.

The al-Warithin claimed that the U.S.-led coalition is commanding some of its military operations within Iraq from al-Tanf garrison.

Around 200 U.S. troops are usually deployed at al-Tanf. The coalition maintains a 55-kilometers around the garrison, which block a strategic highway between Baghdad and the Syrian capital of Damascus.

Three days after the release of the statement, on January 24, al-Warithin released footage documenting the attack on the garrison. The footage showed the launch of three suicide drone of the al-Qassim type, a copy of Iran’s Ababil-2, from an unspecified desert area.

The U.S. Central Command said that two of the drones were shot down near al-Tanf, while the third managed to hit a compound within the garrison. The attack wounded two fighters of the Army of Free Syria, the coalition main proxy group in al-Tanf. However, no U.S. troops were harmed.

Very little is known about al-Warithin. Last year, the group attacked Ali Al Salem Air Base in central Kuwait, where U.S. troops are known to be deployed. Al-Qassim type suicide drones were also used in the attack, which resulted in material losses.

The U.S. is not apparently planning to respond to the attack on al-Tanf garrison, likely to avoid a new confrontation with Iranian-backed forces in Syria and Iraq.

The Resistance has the initiative. Another Iraqi group bombed the United Arab Emirates with rockets a year ago, threatening to destroy the tallest skyscraper in the world, all in solidarity with the Houthis. Three weeks after the assassination of the two commanders in Baghdad ………. the Taliban shot down the special command plane carrying the CIA’s chief operative, one Michael D’Andrea (nicknamed the prince of darkness)………. who had organized the attack against Gen. Soleimani. D’Andrea is dead with all the crew, Even now, the CIA in shock, says that he is alive ……………………… ………….. You call them, if you want, illusions.

Correct. After the threat of destruction of the skyscraper, they withdrew from attacking Yemen.

Chris Gr

It is not just like that. They feel threatened by Iran, Turkey and Muslim Brotherhood.

Armin

Good. The important thing is to undo the West.

Chris Gr

The regime in Washington. Because for me, Europeans are the North and the West are red Native Americans.

Armin

I agree with you. When I speak of the West, I don’t mean to speak ill of the Peoples, but of the forces of evil, of the System, commanded by the blasphemous American masters.

Stinging Metal

Wow I didnt know that.

Armin

The masters of the West tell a lot of lies and hide the beatings. It was a big beating! D’Andrea was responsible for many assassinations and terrorist operations. He paid with his life, rightly so.

John

Strange that you consider the Taliban as part of the resistance; the same Taliban, who executed Iranian diplomats in the 1990s and the same Taliban which are responsible for the killings of thousands of fellow Shia Afghans.

Put attention to disinformation of evil forces. Back then, the Taliban defeated the “freedom fighters” i.e. the pro-American thieves-bandits, who created chaos in Afghanistan. They came to power in Kabul. They destroyed all the pro-American bandits and all the opium fields. With the excuse of the attack on the two towers in NY, the pretext was there to attack the Taliban and to produce oppium. I understand that the Americans speak ill of the Taliban, which is a good sign. The Taliban doesn’t bother anyone, the Russians have never been considered enemies.

John

Lol. Do you really think that the Taliban believe that they can do any harm to Russia? You really believe that Taliban are brave men don’t you?

I look at the facts. The Taliban have defeated the Americans and NATO, that is the forces of evil. They also killed the CIA’s CHIEF operative, Michael D’Andrea. So from the facts it is clear that they are positive.

Chris Gr

Taliban are like HTS. However, Ashraf Ghani was a puppet. The real warrior was the lion of Panjshir Ahmad Shah Massoud.

Armin

Mansur was killed by pro-American terrorists (the bandits before the Taliban). The Taliban do not kill minorities and guerrilla leaders, they co-opt them.

Chris Gr

They do kill them, like Hazaras, Uzbeks or Tajiks.

Armin

The lies of the System are very numerous. Do not believe the bandit propaganda.

Chris Gr

I believe Ahmad Shah Massoud.

The, Taliban – hats, do threaten women in Afghanistan! Do look closer into that stupefying murderous bunch. I recognize some of the Taliban from my visit in 19 81 after coming back from my visit 1980 when the monument built thousands of years ago was destroyed by those fobs..

William White

Allegiances and alliances move very quickly in the Middle East, if the warring Parties would all just focus on Get Murica and Get Israhell I’m sure the other details could be worked out easily and quickly.

John

Taliban is in the hands of CIA. Trust me, I know them. Taliban would never gain power without the help of the CIA, which created them. All the areas where drugs are planted are Pashtun/Taliban areas. Those drugs are sold via CIA to Europe and Americas. There is a clip online where one Taliban official admits that they have no problems with Israel and they are ready to have diplomatic relationships with Israel. Why do Taliban seek recignition by USA if they are their enemies? But Iran will finally pay the price because the Taliban are their neighbor. Even if the Taliban supposedly shot a US drone following Sulaimani’s death according to Armin lol.

Armin

Let me, the Telebans defeated and destroyed the ruling terrorists friendly to the Americans, and then defeated the Americans and NATO. The facts say that the Taliban are with the EST. If there were the victorious Americans, the terrorists left Afghanistan to undermine the neighboring countries. That doesn’t happen. The Russians are calm. China is investing in Afghanistan!

Armin

About Michael D’Andrea, I’ve seen photos of the plane, in the snow, he attempted an emergency landing. The Teliban were many. And they removed all the cabinets with electronic espionage and command equipment. The Americans in the impervious area arrived when it was all over.

Clubofinfo

As it gains experience with nullifying US weapons in Ukraine, Russia should share everything with Iraqi groups so that they can safely kill American servicemen while protecting themselves.

I thunk Russia already is now. Hence why they are giving Iran some new planes I’m additiont to aa system functions of NATO. Guarantee that the drone attacks on US bases in the region will increase in number and effectiveness in coming weeks and months. Possibly triggering a redeployment or withdrawal, something the pentagon wants to prevent in either case as it qill tie up too much resource when it is fighting Russia and preparing to escalate and fight China.

Chris Gr

Yes, however, we shouldn’t trust these groups that much because they are pro-Azerbaijan and pro-Bosnia.

Tommy Jensen

All US officers returned safely to their homebase without a single dust corn on their uniform, after hitting their targets in a single precision strike.

William White

They’re not finished yet Tommy!

Soon, the US and its nato poodles will need to leave the whole area. They have worn out their welcome over many decades and can no longer be trusted with anything.

Western shysters attention is now on Africa, which they are desperately trying to prevent from developing. The African’s didn’t swallow the ‘covid’ kool-aid and they won’t be swallowing the global warming nonsense either.

Even if these groups support Azerbaijan and Bosnia, while I support Armenia and Serbia, they have a right to expel American forces from there.

The US hegemon, trained military, oil seeds, are not supposed to be in Syria according to the Syria government and the official president Assad. Thank you for the report as the US Constitution is overridden by presidents since October 19th ’78…
