Israel is planning a surprise attack against Iran and its allies in the Middle East, a shadowy Iraqi armed group warned on April 27.
The group, known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq – ‘Ashab al-Kahf, said in a statement that the attack will be carried out by the Israeli Air Force, adding that the United States will help Tel Aviv repel any response by the Axis of Resistance.
Senior intelligence officers from Israel, the U.S. and Ukrainian operatives disguised as NATO officers were recently monitored leaving Iraq through Baghdad International Airport and several airfields in northern Iraq, the group noted. It also revealed an unusual increase in the flights of military cargo planes, drones and fighter jets in Iraqi airspace.
Israel and the U.S. have been coordinating against Iran for decades. Ukraine may have joined in recently as a response to the growing military cooperation between the Islamic republic and Russia.
“We call on the government of [Prime Minister Mr. Sudani to pay attention to what is going on around them,” ‘Ashab al-Kahf’s statement reads. “This time, Iraq will be very effective in responding to such hostile actions against the axis in general, especially if Iraq’s airspace is used.”
The group’s statement implies that Israel is planning to launch strikes against targets in Iran, possibly nuclear sites, from Iraqi airspace.
‘Ashab al-Kahf is one of several pro-Iran groups that emerged in Iraq after the assassination of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Deputy-Commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, and Commander of Iran’s Quds Force, Qassim Soleimani, by the U.S. more than three years ago.
Last week, the group warned the Iraqi government over increasing activities by the U.S. intelligence in the country and shared footage showing coalition helicopters, including a Black Hawk upgraded for special operations, flying over unspecified areas.
The U.S. maintains some 2,500 troops in Iraq to counter the influence of Iran, under the pretext of fighting ISIS. Most of these troops are deployed in military installations in Baghdad and in the northern autonomous Kurdistan region.
‘Ashab al-Kahf warning is likely an attempt to deter the U.S. and Israel. The warning came amid a halt in nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran, and increasing calls in Tel Aviv to take military action against the Iranian nuclear program.

Old news. How else will Israel reach the Iranian nuclear assets but through Iraqi airspace. There has been a plan in place for years, constantly upgraded, so the imminence of this alleged version is also bogus: the gun has been cocked for years, it’s just a matter of getting US green light to pull the trigger. Putin will also give a green light. He gains nothing from a nuclear armed Iran. His consent will be covert of course, as he does need Iranian drones and rockets.
The notion that Putin would give the green light to US to attack Iran is absurd
Iran does not wish to be a nuclear power. Iran DOES want the sanctions against them LIFTED.
Using nukes on Iran will only light the fuse for ww 3… NATO has plans to threaten smaller countries into submission with nukes when Russia is out of the way..but NATO/Israel are lliving in the past.. and may soon be out gunned by the military unification of others if and when China is willing to compromise it’s economy .
Russia and China have to make a choise because they are next to be attact. If the illegal entity israhell is exterminated and the yankees badly hurt, it will be good for humanity.
Israel has no way of effectively striking Iran’s nuclear sites, that’s why Israelis keep begging the US to have a credible military option. There are no US carriers anywhere near Iran so there’s no credible military option.
If they do Ian will unleash hell on Israel.
Thebonly thing iran will unlwash is a vomit of shit onto their own kitchen napkin. If hezbollah goes to war lebanese will pick up arms against them, the only way this cancer is going to be out is for them to die out.
Israel can strike but they need the logistics, and i dont think a ground penetrator will do alone they will need a micro nuke to strike on a nuke site, after all whats a few radiation leaks in the middle of the desert and they can always claim it was irans nukes that radiated not theirs. Hipefully they put iran back for good, im tired of this country and then fucking over every aspect of the middle east including my life. Fuck them to hell and back. If it takes israel then so be it, after all it takes a monster to kill a monster. I will settle with the less fanatical and meddler of the two.
The illegal entity of israhell must be exterminated to the last genetic. Palestine will be prosperus whit the gasfield on the coast. The zionist parasite, the canser in our univers must come to an end .
loool anaother brainwahsed idiot. if Israel goes Palestinians will not propser but go on to kill each other like they have always done with their past arab bretheren, they will fight each other and teach their 10 year old kids to pick up arms and hate America then Europe then the wolrd, even fi you give them gas they will use the money to buy weapons while their epople starve.
It would be interesting to see Israel using nukes on Iran that way Putin can use his own “micro” nukes on Banderites in Ukraine and declare: what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
The yankees have run out off the Persian Gulf, and the Mediteranean. This could be a sygnal. But they have a nuclear armed summarine in the Persian Gulf. Hopefull Iran is monitoring it. Iran must put the ballistic missils ready to carbonise all the yankee bases around. And survey the sky from the Maledives, MH370 stand there and could be used to disturb the AD.
If I was, Iran, I’d take this warning seriously, since Bibi is back, Israel up to shannanigans again, be alert 24/7
İran can sending and Raining 50.000 multi range missiles to telaviv and haifa In only 45 minutes.regards will fly from yemen syria lebanon and iraq.also 90000 missiles from İran. Israel must go to Canada.canada is very very big and Green. İt will be safe For everybody. Israelians are brothers of muslims. No problem. Peoples are friends. Netanyahu is evil the son of sarouhan. He and his plan will destroy israel.
Ak Žid napadne Iránske jadrové zariadenia, tak Irán by mal odpovedať tvrdým úderom. Je čas dať Židovi konečne do tlamy!!! Žid provokuje, útočí v Sýrii a BR OSN je nemá!!! Tak by sa mali o svoju bezpečnosť postarať sami. Keď sa inak nedá.
SHOOT THE JEW CUNTS DOWN do NO be like Syria where they DO NOT shoot at the Jew Jets who launch missiles from other countries airspace and Syria DOES NOT SHOOT THESE JETS DOWN, Iran is a different TIGER Iran WILL SHOOT THESE JEWS OUT OF THE SKY and so they should. =Z=
The khaZar filth kills civilians and babies. They never will attack Iran and the idea that its drug-addled Golem USSA will start a war with Iran is absurd considering that they are already peeing themselves over Russia wiping out their UkrapnaZis. As for a war against China by the pentacon scum….yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
The only war that USSA will fight in the coming months is the war against its starving underclass in Slumville proper.
Z all the way!
