According to reference news reports, the U.S. military base in Ain al-Assad in western Iraq was attacked by rockets and drones, and then violently **, followed by the Iraqi militia armed "Islamic Resistance Group" declared responsibility for the attack, 48 hours ago, the U.S. Embassy in Iraq was also subjected to multiple rounds of shelling, and 7 mortar shells fell into the embassy compound,The living conditions of the US military in Iraq are rapidly deteriorating.
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken Some time ago, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken visited the Middle East and went to a U.S. military base in Iraq.
Led by the Iranian Revolutionary Army, Allah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, the Syrian Army, and the Iraqi militia, the main structure of the "Arc of Resistance" is the common desire of these armed groups to expel US troops stationed in the Middle East and "wipe Israel off the map." Although these countries and organizations have been sanctioned by the United States and the West for many years, with Iran, a regional power, it is not difficult to obtain rockets, drones, mortars and other equipmentIn particular, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been fought for two years, and the relationship between Russia and Iran has become closer and closer, and the "anti-American forces" in the Middle East are becoming stronger and stronger.
On the day of the attack on the US military base and the attack on the US embassy, a ** of the Iraqi Allah Brigade posted on social media that this was just the beginning, and that the Iraqi resistance group would launch a full-scale attack on the "American interest groups" in the territory. It is worth noting that this Allah Brigade is only allied with Iran, not a formal member of the "Arc of Resistance", and even they have stood up to participate in the grand event, which shows that the current US military is a bit "disgusted with dogs" in the Middle East.
I still remember that back then, when the United States had just launched the Iraq War, the picture of the people in the capital Baghdad "welcoming the king" was widely circulated, and they believed that the United States was here to help them overthrow the "rule of **", and Iraq in the future would be a "Western democratic country". Now, more than 20 years later, Iraq is still mired in war, which can only be described as devastatingThe "civilized world" that the locals want to see has not come, and only the United States has coerced the local "puppet regime" and continuously channeled the interests that should belong to the people to the United States.
The US military presence is unpopular in the local area, and it is only against this background that various armed groups in Iraq have risen up and vowed to expel US troops from the Middle East, believing that the US military has no right to set up military bases in Iraq, and that the US embassy is the forward base for the US military to plan military operations in the Middle East. Is this inference reasonable, everyone looks at the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict to know that the United States never seems to want to bring peace to the Middle EastThey even sent Israel white phosphorus bombs, which were in clear violation of international law, and the latter dropped them on Lebanese territory.
However, at the same time, the US military does not intend to end up in person, and after the frequent attacks on their bases in Iraq and Syria, the United States only asked Iraq to send troops to stop the attacks on US targets. Intelligence Director William Burns told Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani that if you don't show up, it could lead to "serious consequences," whether the U.S. military will go into battle in person or whether Al-Sudani will be overthrown, but he did not say specifically.
The US military stationed in Iraq can foresee that in the future, the US military bases in various countries in the Middle East will be attacked more times, and as long as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not resolved peacefully, the "Arc of Resistance" will not give up attacking the US military. And ironically, until now,The Pentagon has not yet reported even a single case of US troops killed in the attack in the Middle East, only the continuous "brain **" symptoms, accompanying US soldiers.
