Pro-Iran groups in Iraq demand US troops leave, warn of regional escalation​


Pro-Iran groups in Iraq call for the withdrawal of US troops, with one powerful faction warning of “additional wars in the region” after a wave of Israeli strikes on Iran.

During the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza since October 2023, Tehran-aligned armed factions have launched rocket and drone attacks at army bases hosting US troops, who are deployed in Iraq and in neighbouring Syria as part of an anti-jihadist coalition.

Accusing US President Donald Trump of having “authorized” the major Israeli attack on Iran on Friday, Iraqi group Kataeb Hezbollah said in a statement that “the American forces in Iraq have enabled this aggression by opening the Iraqi airspace to Zionist aircraft.”

To stop Iraq from becoming “a battlefield,” Kataeb Hezbollah said that the government in Baghdad “must urgently remove these hostile foreign forces from the country in order to avoid additional wars in the region.”

Akram al-Kaabi, the leader of another group, Al-Nujaba, decried the alleged “coordination” between Israel and the “American occupier” and called for the “complete withdrawal” of US forces.

 
IDF Spokesperson:

The firing continues. Another volley of dozens of missiles was launched towards the State of Israel. You are asked to continue to obey the instructions of the Home Front Command and the instructions that are being distributed to you.
The explosions you hear come from interceptions or crashes.

The air defense system constantly identifies and intercepts threats. IDF spokesman:

A short time ago, alerts were activated in several areas of the country following the discovery of missiles launched from Iran into the territory of the State of Israel.

The public is asked to obey the Home Front Command's instructions.
At this time, the Air Force is working to intercept and attack wherever necessary to eliminate the threat.
The defense is not hermetic, and therefore the Home Front Command's instructions must continue to be followed.



BREAKING: Iran named its operation "Severe Punishment"

 
Sources told the Al-Mayadeen channel that the missiles were launched at Israel from several provinces in Iran, including Fars in the southeast of the country.
Dozens of interceptors in the air
 
So far, 300 missiles have been launched from Iran. Israeli assessment: there will be more.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim in a statement that they allegedly attacked "dozens of targets, military centers and air bases" in Israel.
 
Senior Israeli officials say that Iran will pay an unbearable price for firing on population centers.

The headquarters of Israel’s Ministry of Defense was hit by a 2nd missile strike while emergency services were responding to the 1st explosion. Reports currently indicate 14 people injured.

 

US reportedly assisting Israel in intercepting Iranian missiles​


The US is assisting Israel in intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles that have been launched at the country this evening, Axios reports, citing an Israeli official.

A US official confirms the American assistance, noting that there are several hundred thousand Americans who live in Israel and that their government is working to protect them.

 
IAEA detects radioactive contamination inside Iranian nuclear facility after the Israeli strike.

Radiation levels outside the Natanz site remain unchanged. The contamination — mainly alpha particles — is manageable with proper protective measures, the agency said.

Just wait till BUSHEHR nuclear gets hit…
