A new wave of attacks targeted United States forces in Iraq and Syria in response to Washington’s continuous support for the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 26,000 Palestinians.
On January 27, al-Asad Air Base in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar, which hosts U.S. troops, was attacked with suicide drones twice, with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iranian-backed armed factions, claiming responsibility for both attacks.
The IRI announced on January 28 two more drone attacks against the Conoco gas plant base and the al-Omar oil field’s Green Village base in the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ezzor.
The attacks were carried out “in response to the massacres of the Zionist entity against our people in Gaza,” the IRI said in separate statements.
An official in the U.S. The Department of Defense confirmed to Al Jazeera that all three bases were hit. However, he only reported casualties and material losses in the Conoco gas plant base -which the U.S. military calls Mission Support Site Euphrates-. The unnamed official didn’t provide any further details.
More than 150 attacks have targeted U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza, with the IRI claiming responsibility for most of the attacks. The group also launched several attacks against targets in Israel, using long-range suicide drones and land-attack cruise missiles.
The U.S. responded more than once, killing Iraq fighters and prompting the government in Baghdad to demand an end to Washington’s military presence in the country.
Talks between the U.S. and Iraq on the withdrawal of American troops from the country are supposed to kick off in a few days. The IRI has already warned that Washington will attempt to sabotage the talks and mislead the Iraqi side in order to maintain its military presence.
the attacks also come in response to the continued presence of us occupation forces in both countries. in syria the us is actively stealing much of syria‘s oil. despite the large presence of iranian-backed russian forces there, the latter have failed to take any action whatsoever on behalf of the syrian people.
why are these murdering thiefs still occupying two sovereign countries after both governments repeatedly asked them to withdraw their troops? the hypocrites are sanctioning russia for intervening to stop the 8 years of slaughter by the jewish supremacists in ukraine against the russian people while they themselves are occupying two sovereign countries.
technically, they’re occupying way more than just 2 countries, for example, japan, south korea, germany, panama, cuba (guantanamo), bahrain, kuwait. in all, 80 countries “host” us bases
