An Iranian-backed militia in Iraq is threatening to attack American bases in the country if it is determined that Israel used Iraqi territory in its retaliatory strike against Iran on Oct. 26.
Sheikh Ali al-Asadi, head of the Political Council of the Nujaba Movement, also known as Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, made the threat to Newsweek in an article published on Monday.
Iranian and Iraqi officials have claimed that Israel did use Iraqi airspace in its attack, but Asadi disputed this.
“The information we have is that the entity [Israel] used Syrian airspace over American bases and from the airspace of Jordan and Saudi Arabia,” Asadi told Newsweek, “and its story that it used Iraqi airspace is to save face and confuse the cards.”
