In a confrontation involving Lebanon breaks out on Sunday, the Iraqi Resistance Coordination (IRC) promised to step up its efforts against US interests in Iraq and the surrounding area.
The International Rescue Committee met “in response to threats from the Zionist-American adversary to launch a broad war against Lebanon and its courageous Resistance.”
If the Zionists proceed with their threats, the intensity and scope of operations against them will escalate, with the interests of the criminal American enemy in Iraq and the region becoming legitimate targets for the Resistance,” IRC said.
With threats of the negative effects of Iraqi factions’ involvement in the country on security, the economy, and even politics, the likelihood of a war breaking out between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon has emerged as a pressing concern.
Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel have been engaging in gunfire for almost eight months, coinciding with the Gaza conflict. Due to the circumstances, some European and regional nations have declared their desire to remove their citizens from Lebanon.
According to Israeli media, the Israeli army’s Northern Command was getting ready for a major assault on Lebanon and was waiting for political approval.
In spite of Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant’s constant warnings to “wipe Lebanon off the map,” Washington is working to defuse the situation out of concern for according to senior party leader Ali Damoush, Lebanese Hezbollah has revealed that its increased attacks along Lebanon’s southern border serve as a warning to Israeli leaders about the high costs of going to war. big regional conflict.
Security analysts and strategists in Iraq felt that the next few days will bring about a war that will be larger than the one in Gaza because of powerful regional forces, whether it be Hezbollah’s ties to groups in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria or Hezbollah’s relationship to Iran.
Thus, if the situation between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah develops “based on the unity of arenas strategy adopted by the Islamic Resistance, in partnership with Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthi Ansarallah group, and Hamas,” then the Islamic Resistance’s participation in Iraq is deemed possible, according to security expert Imad Allo.
This likelihood was reinforced last week when Qais al-Khazali, the Secretary-General of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq movement, issued a warning to all US interests in Iraq and the area that any backing for an Israeli military campaign against Lebanon will result in their being targeted.
In a nationally broadcast speech, al-Khazali said, “If the United States continues to support this usurping entity (Israel) in its expanded operations and attacks on Lebanon and Hezbollah, America should know that all its interests in the region and Iraq will be at risk.”
