The Iraqi Resistance Coordination Coalition has officially announced the end of the ceasefire with the United States in Iraq, amidst escalating tensions with Israel and Lebanon. The coalition, comprising armed groups allied with Iran, threatened to increase military operations against US interests in the region if Israel initiates a wide war against Lebanon.
Recent meetings among the factions have highlighted their readiness to confront any potential conflict, with fighters undergoing training under Iranian supervision in preparation for a full-scale regional war. The focus is not only on military skills but also on ideological mobilization and readiness.
Criticism has been directed at economic projects like the Basra-Aqaba oil pipeline, viewed as facilitating normalization with Israel, while Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister declared a state of war amid ongoing clashes.
The Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), aligned with resistance factions and receiving directives from Iran’s IRGC, have demanded the Iraqi government to facilitate the withdrawal of international troops.
These developments reflect growing anti-US sentiment in Iraq, particularly following attacks on US and British companies. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has intensified attacks against US and Israeli assets, illustrating their commitment to countering perceived threats to regional stability.
