Iranian-backed fighters in Iraq have warned the US military to leave the country “immediately” or US bases in the region will come under attack, the Associated Press (AP) news agency reports.
Rocket and drone attacks have hit US bases in Iraq and Syria in recent days, and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq – which analysts describe as a network of armed groups linked to Iran – has claimed responsibility for most.
The group said its attacks and ultimatum for US forces to leave is retaliation for Washington’s support of Israel as well as a warning for the US to not intervene in Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, AP reports.
“These are only warning messages to them, and serious work has not yet begun,” the groups said in a statement.
The statement concluded by saying that if Israel launches a ground invasion of Gaza, “watch the border with Jordan carefully”. It did not elaborate.
Let me let you in on something.
Robotics was my son's hs sport. The recruiters were all over these meets for drone operators. We have millions of already trained drone operators. And every year more students join the robotics team. This is a NASA sponsored sport. They could make war a game at the next meet for all we know.

Let’s just hope they actually do it and it’s not just boring empty threats like Russia constantly threatening to nuke the west if more arms are sent to Ukraine but then just meekly sitting there and watching as those red lines are crossed.
Let us pray that the they/them army that is the modern American army becomes the was/were army.
I put that together with this article from a couple of months ago:
IRGC commander advises Iraqi resistance against attacks on US bases: Report (8/17/2023)
My interpretation of that older story is that the IRGC was saying, "Hey, instead of some tit-for-tat bullshit, save it for the right time. We're all going to do it together and make sure it's effective and permanent."
So maybe this is the right time.
They herald their own demise. Worse if it goes South. Tell me about Iranian inflation. Some has eased since its arms, and trade. But it can be crippled significantly to the point of it imploding.
Then does Iran stop sending martyrs? Hiding behind terrorists.
Tell me who bails Iraq in this situation. Who supports its population with goods. Let's suggest for a second America does leave. Iraq gets sanctioned. It's imploded. Of course there's this other cartel in there and we all know that story.
They herald their own demise. Keep those threats coming. Time to stop Iranian tankers, and cripple a pipeline. Does it launch? There go its oil fields.
We are also on for a very cold winter. I wonder what the global surplus is currently? There's going to be a lot of cannibals at this rate.
