Oh dear.
[Rudaw] Iraq on Tuesday reacted to an Israeli letter to the UN Security Council holding Iraq responsible for the activities of pro-Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for
spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet
militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word
Iranis a cognate form of
Aryan.The abbreviation
IRGCis the same idea as
Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term
Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either

Führeror maybe both. They hate
groups in the Middle East. Baghdad deemed this a "pretext to justify aggression" and said it seeks peace in the region.
In a letter to the Security Council on Monday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar urged "immediate action" against "attacks on Israel conducted by the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq" and ensure that Iraq "fulfills its obligations" to "prevent the use of its territory as a base for attacks against other nations."
Some Iraqi militia groups backed by Iran have launched rocket and dronezaps against US military installations in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for Washington’s support for Israel in its war against Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
. They have also targeted Israel with drones and missiles.
Iraq’s government on Tuesday responded to Israel’s letter in a statement from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
i’s office following a council of ministers meeting, describing it as "a pretext to justify aggression against Iraq and an attempt to expand the ongoing war in the region."
"The Prime Minister reaffirmed Iraq’s rejection of such threats, emphasizing that decisions of war and peace rest solely with the Iraqi state," the statement read, adding that "Iraq refuses to be drawn into war while maintaining its principled stance of ending the conflict and providing humanitarian aid
to the Paleostinian and Lebanese peoples."The US also commented on the matter.
"Iraq should do everything within its power to stop terrorist attacks, both within its borders and against targets outside its borders," State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told Rudaw’s Diyar Kurda during a press briefing on Tuesday.
On October 7 of last year, Paleostinian Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, which retaliated by invading Gaza with the conflict now having spread to Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
In October, the Israeli army announced that two of its soldiers were killed and 24 others were maimed, when a suicide drone launched from Iraq hit a military base in the Golan Heights.
These attacks by the militia groups have raised concerns that Iraq could be dragged into the war - something Iraqi officials have said they want to avoid.
In early November, the Iraqi government denied similar reports of its lands being used as a launchpad to attack Israel, stating that the reports are being used as an excuse to drag Iraq into war.

| “Please don’t hurt us!” |
The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed to have launched dozens of drones at Israel since war broke out last year with the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023, attack.
Most of the group’s attacks have failed to cross Israel’s border or were downed by air defenses, according to the IDF. Last month, two soldiers were killed by a drone launched by the group at an army base in the Golan Heights, and in September, one struck the Eilat port, causing damage and lightly wounding two people.
Sa’ar said some of the militias are part of the Popular Mobilization Forces — a coalition of mostly Shiite armed groups that’s technically part of the Iraqi army although it operates in practice largely outside state control
| …and in practice its members draw a second salary from Iran’s IRGC, which is also where they get their orders… |
Al-Sudani’s office says in a statement that Iraq has refused to enter into the regional conflict while “seeking to provide relief to the Palestinian and Lebanese people.”
