This was announced by the pro-Iranian movement "Islamic Resistance of Iraq", which launched drones early in the morning of October 21. There has been no information yet about casualties or damage. Pro-Iranian forces carried out an attack on US troops in Iraq this week for the third time. Thus, on October 18, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq launched attacks on Harir and another American base, Al-Assad, in Anbar province. The Al-Assad base was also attacked by the Islamic Resistance on October 20. In addition, on October 19, the group sent three drones to the American al-Tanf base in Homs province in Syria. The Islamic Resistance said all three drones reached their target, while the Americans said two UAVs destroyed air defense forces. Attacks by the pro-Iranian movement on the American military have become more frequent amid the worsening of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for two weeks now, since October 7. Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces exchange rocket attacks. In addition, Israel plans to intensify military operations as part of the ground operation. The United States fully supports Israel in its conflict with the Palestinian Hamas movement. American President Joe Biden announced this when he visited Tel Aviv on October 19. In a number of Islamic countries there are protests against Israeli actions against Muslims. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on October 17 threatened Israel and its allies with dire consequences for attacks on Gaza. |
