Washington has informed Baghdad Israeli strikes against Iraq were “imminent,” unless the Iraqi government manages to prevent Iran-backed armed factions from launching attacks against Israel, Al-Hadath reported on November 20, citing a source with knowledge on the matter.
According to the Saudi news channel, the United States told Iraq it had exhausted “all means of pressure on Israel,” and asked Baghdad to quickly take action to stop attacks on Israel.
Israel has faced hundreds of drone and missile attacks from Iraq since the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October of last year, with the majority of these attacks being claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed factions.
Most of the IRI’s attacks were carried out using suicide drones, although land-attack cruise missiles were also used on several occasions.
One of the drones launched by the group hit a military site in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights on October 3, killing two Israeli troops and wounding more than 20 others.
On November 18, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called on the United Nations Security Council to pressure Baghdad to end attacks by Iran-backed factions, warning that Israel has the right to defend itself under the UN Charter.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said during a cabinet meeting on November 19 that Sa’ar’s threat was a pretext for Israel to attack Iraq and expand the war in the region.
The Iraqi newspaper Shafaq later reported that Al-Sudani, who is also commander-in-chief of the Iraqi military, has directed security forces to prevent any military activity by factions not under government control. Still, the IRI said on November 20 that it had attacked two military targets in northern and southern Israel with drones. No losses were reported by Hebrew media.
Any direct Israel attack on Iraq could have serious consequences, not only for Israel but also for the U.S. who maintains more than 2,500 troops in Iraq and some 900 others in neighboring Syria. The IRI maintains a very strong presence in both countries.

zionist cowards should be hit harder from iraq and us occupation forces expelled.
israel is going to war with the whole region. that sounds like a great idea…if you are a brain damaged zionist prone to imbreeding
it is a great idea. especially when they are the only one with nuclear weapons
the moment they use nukes, their support from the usa stops. by law, the usa cannot be a welfare queen to nuclear states. that is why the jews maintain their retarded policy of not admitting nuclear weapons. their welfare suckery will stop
bullshit. u.s. doesn’t matter. it is about global “elites”. they hate average americans as russians and other nations. they want them kill each others. but you and all other idiots are so stupid you can’t think without useless labels like “americans”, “russians” and so on. these elites don’t hesitate to kill even je*ws despite the fact, they are all je*ws. israel has killing ratio 10.000 : 1 only because it is needed considering to overpopulated muslim states around.
israel’s high killing ratio is the result of an extremely unnatural state of affairs in the region. that unnatural state of affairs is going to be overturned. things like lebanon not allowed an air force. egypt bribed into not giving a damn about palestinians. jordan being a british slave state. the unnatural american-jewish cancer is going to be wiped. you can bet any turd temple built will not last and will be israel’s destruction.
“by law, the usa cannot be a welfare queen to nuclear states”… “by law”?… since when has the u.$. government ever led by example?… get your head out of your a$$ partner!…
translation: give it 2 more weeks and watch the commodities future and phyz go through the fucking roof. it’s “over” for the west’s endless “party” … now the worst insult of all… not being at the head of the table anymore with a “one world re$erve” currency that has been on life support going on 20 years that also doubles as a shotgun in the face of any hold out sovereigns that want their independence… they will commit suicide before that happens!
your childish hubris betrays your insecure youth. silly hook nose 👃
they beat me up in kindergarten, i failed at school, i was fired from my job, i can’t steal, so i compensate for it on internet discussion
you can better than that
iran is ready to glass over the zionazi sewer should the demonic filth go nukes. hope you enjoy it shlomo.
but but but, we were told all missiles were shot down by the invincible israeli air defense systems. so why all the fuss?
how much attacking can israel do before it is completely exhausted?
as long as they are backstopped by fake and gay christian zionists like lindsey gayam
miss lindsey is a protected species. word is, he used to sleep with his mom. oedipus, and all that. don’t quote me on it. could be lies spread by a spurned bitch. 🐩
does israel even have a plan? i seriously doubt it. after attacking virtually all its neighbours how can it possibly hope to ever live in peace? rhetorical question; it cannot.
is there peace with cancer? cancers do not disappear on their own
sadly, there exist no “nuclear weapon” it was the same as “moon landings”, “nine eleven” and fake pandemic, all from the several hundred year old source to nazi germany. it is still possibly to erase it from the surface of earth, i wonder what the russian submarines are doing, sunbath ? wipe it out ! no multi polar world are possible with it left, only bipolar disorder. russia defeated nazi germany, which was as sauron, now morgoth are left untouched ?!
i will tel you a secret. what is called “u.s. deep state” have 5000 years of continuous existence.. maybe more but who knows. there are landing strips in central africa as old as 5000 years, able to serve space shuttle. there was global civilization 5000 years ago with the same gods, same technology, same pyramids and same huge monolitic stone buildings on all continents. and their historical records are full of wars, betrayals, intrigues, color revolutions, high end weapons and violence.
i would start a nuclear war just to see the comments of imbeciles like you.
(blinken, black eyed animal khazar rat) has informed baghdad. . . . . . . . . ‘ exhausted all measures’ …no need to go any further. 🗡️. hideous vermin.
i wanted to fight for hamas, but i didn’t pass the iq tests
still at nicking people’s monikers are we ?well identity theft is one of your breed’s hallmark traits isn’t it 🤔
looking forward to thousands more dead idf shlomo diaper head thug$. if nutn’yahoo is waiting for trump to fight iran he is already dead. ussa can’t and won’t do jack squat against mighty iran. it’s over for the zionazi abomination. just listen to scott ritter’s take on the supremacist stinking cadaver.
and who profits the most.
any attacks by the zio nazi terrorist jewscums will be directed by their attack dogs the united snakes of aipac. therefore iraqi freedom fighters must flatten and burn all the americunts garrison and gay troops in iraq once and for all
