The Iraqi resistance is becoming a key player in the Resistance Axis, coordinating with Yemeni forces, intensifying strikes on a wider range of Israeli targets, and keen to reshape the war’s trajectory.
...The Iraqi resistance has entered a new phase... taking on a more significant role in the widening regional war... escalating its activities to pressure decision-makers in Tel Aviv.
Over the past 12 months, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq (IRI) has refined its tactics and upgraded its weaponry....
Resistance unity and a multi-front strategy
The IRI’s most notable attack occurred on 4 October 2024 when a military base in the northern Golan was hit, killing two Israeli soldiers and injuring 24 others from the “elite” Golani Brigade.
A week before the operation, Ali al-Mahdi, an Iraqi resistance commander, was quoted as saying:
The armed factions have the full capacity and readiness in terms of fighters, weapons, and drones to fight a long war on a regional level. Therefore, any development in Hezbollah’s war with the entity will directly drag the factions into an open war without red lines … The resistance is fully prepared if it is necessary to go to Lebanon, or to continue carrying out strikes deep inside Israel with long-range missiles.
Despite facing significant internal challenges and external pressures... coordinated efforts across the region’s Axis of Resistance, targeting the occupation state and US military sites on multiple fronts.
....Currently, the Iraqi resistance has entered its fourth phase, which is focusing on striking deeper into Israeli territorial depth, with an emphasis on northern areas .... coincided with Israel’s destructive attacks across Lebanon and the disruption of Hezbollah’s command and control structure with the targeted assassinations of secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah and other senior commanders.
What sets this phase apart is the increased frequency and intensity of attacks, as well as the introduction of advanced drones and weaponry into the conflict.
..The continuation and intensification of these operations by the Iraqi resistance are aimed at achieving several strategic objectives. ...Finally, the operations are intended to signal to the US that the resistance is undeterred and may resume targeting American bases if provoked, particularly if US forces escalate their involvement in support of the occupation state.
There is little doubt that Washington is applying maximum pressure on the Iraqi government to rein in the IRI, as it did before the 2 February truce. But this time, Iraq’s resistance is mainly targeting Israel, which makes the US persuasion mission more difficult.
