According to the Iraqi sources on Saturday, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for the attack on the illegal US Ain al-Asad base in western Iraq.
Resistance groups based in Iraq have repeatedly hit US bases on Iraqi and Syrian territories with missiles and drones over the past weeks in retaliation for the Israeli regime’s crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.
The groups are also outraged at the US military presence in the region, which they see as a source of instability, as well as Washington’s support for the Israeli regime in its ongoing war on Gaza.
Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq Secretary General Qais al-Khazali said on X, formerly Twitter, that in clear violation of Iraq’s sovereignty, the American enemy targets the facilities, headquarters of the military, security forces, and Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in different parts of the country, resulting in a large number of Iraqi citizens killed and wounded.
Due to such crimes, the existence of American forces in Iraq and throughout the region is a threat to the countries’ sovereignty and dignity, he said, adding that it should be used all tools to expel American enemies.
