The possibility of a US–Israeli war against Iran and the Axis of Resistance has increased following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran
The Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee (IRCC) warned on 12 August that its response against US forces would be “unrestricted” if Iran is bombed through Iraqi airspace, Shafaq News reported.
The IRCC represents the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), a coalition of armed Shia factions opposed to the presence of US forces in Iraq. These factions include Kataib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba. Some are incorporated into Iraqi security forces known as the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU).
The Iraqi resistance has previously claimed attacks on US military targets in Iraq, including a rocket attack on the Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar Province last week, which injured five US personnel.
On 31 July, the US military bombed a Kataib Hezbollah base in Iraq, killing a senior Yemeni missile specialist, Hussein Abdullah Mastour al-Shabal. The same day, Israel assassinated Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Israel assassinated Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut one day later.
Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah have promised to retaliate for the assassinations, while US officials have promised to defend Israel if it goes to war against Iran.
