'Resistance' Brings War To U.S. Forces In Iraq, Launches Attacks In Support Of Gaza (Videos)

Iraqi armed factions backed by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the formation of a joint operations room in support of Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip on October 18, claiming responsibility for two drone attacks that targeted bases hosting United States troops in western and northern Iraq earlier in the day.

In a brief statement, the so-called Islamic Resistance in Iraq said that its factions formed the al-Aqsa Flood Support Operations Room to fulfill their religious duty and obligation.

Al-Aqsa Flood is the codenamed for the surprise attack on Israel launched by the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions from Gaza on October 7. Over 1,400 Israelis were killed in the attack. Israel has been bombarding the Strip since then and is preparing to launch a ground invasion. More than 3,400 Palestinians have been killed, so far.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced in a later statement that the first actions of the al-Aqsa Flood Support Operations Room included two attacks with drones on Ayn al-Assad Air Base in the western province of al-Anbar and al-Harir Air Base in the northern Kurdistan Region. U.S. troops are known to be deployed in both bases.

Confirming that it was behind the attacks, the resistance released footage showing the launch of what appears to be two Iranian-made Shahed-101 suicide drones at Ayn al-Assad.

Meanwhile, al-Harir was targeted with a single suicide drone, a copy of the Iranian-made Ababil-2, according to a photo from the scene of the attack.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said that its forces intercepted two drones, destroying one and damaging the other, over Ayn al-Assad. The attack resulted in minor injuries to American forces, the command acknowledged.

A third drone was intercepted over al-Harir, the command said, adding that the attack didn’t result in any casualties or material losses.

“In this moment of heightened alert, we are vigilantly monitoring the situation in Iraq and the region,” CENTCOM’s statement about the attack said.

The decision to bring the war to U.S. forces in Iraq was likely directly motivated by the al-Ahli Arab Hospital massacre in Gaza, which saw nearly 500 civilians being killed in an Israeli strike, according to Palestinian health officials.

The U.S. unconditional political and military support for Israel was not bent by the horrific massacre. In fact, President Joe Bide held Palestinian fighters responsible for the deadly hospital explosion during his wartime visit to Israel on October 18, adopting the Israeli claim that it was the result of a rocket misfire.

The attacks on Ayn al-Assad and al-Harir will not likely be the last operations against U.S. troops in Iraq. A spokesman for Kata’ib Hezbollah, one of the largest factions of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, told Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV that operations will “escalate” in coming days.

ussa must be expelled from the region completely. then the khazar disease can be cured and hopefully the “good” jews can learn to live in peace..if not send them back to their anglozionazi ghettos from whence they crawled. humanity can no longer afford this evil racist filth. time has come for all the world (especially the muslim world) to stand with the semitic people of palestine against the welfare warfare squatter$. z and lots of it until the cancer is cured.

problem with iraq was that when us was in fact military defeated in 2005 and fully in 2007 us did the negroponte solution resp. switched from war against saddam & mujahedeen resistance to simple massacring whole sunni regions in iraq using death squads – made from mostly shia militias. …

these happened with support from iran. so it is clear us and iran made a deal to clear iraq from saddam and all sunni influence, and now iraq is a split us-iran protectorate, with iran having the military dominance and us having licence from iran to plunder the iraq oil resources

as long as they give part to iran puppet government in iraq and do not attack iran. the losers of this us-iran deal is the sunni iraq part of the iraqi population. and even though officially iran didn t take part in the 2003 us war against iraq, iran was the winner of it, while us and iraq lost.

está sala de operaciones creada por la resistencia debe estar más activa diariamente, los ataques a bases de ee.uu en territorio iraki deberian hacerse con varios drones, misiles de corto alcance como los que se utilizan el los mlrs grad, ataques con morteros, para poder así saturar las defensas antiaéreas que protegen dichas bases. así como hamas dispara varios misiles y drones contra territorio israelí y saturar las defensas de la cúpula de hierro.
