According to reports, the US military carried out a drone attack on the streets of Baghdad, and a car was hit in an instant, with flames and smoke and dust. The attack killed three people, possibly including senior commanders of the Iraqi militia Allah Brigades. The news shook the entire Middle East region and provoked a strong reaction from all sides.
The U.S. ** command claimed that the street beheading operation was a series of attacks against U.S. forces allegedly planned by senior commanders of the "Allah Brigades." Last month, three people were killed and more than 40 injured in a drone attack on the U.S. military's Tower 22 base on the Jordanian-Syrian border. The U.S. action is clearly aimed at retaliation and demonstrating its resolve.
Allah Brigades "quickly confirmed that one of their missile engineers was tragically killed in this drone attack." According to the "Popular Mobilization Organization" control, the US military used the MQ-9 "Reaper" drone to carry out this decapitation mission, and may launch at least 3 "Hellfire" missiles. This detail demonstrates the superiority of the US military in science and technology, and also highlights the activity and threat of "Allah's brigade" in the Iraqi region.
After the airstrikes, Baghdad's "Green Zone" was shut down and the U.S. Embassy in Iraq was quickly elevated to maximum alert. There has been speculation that the airstrike will provoke a violent reaction from all sides, and the United States fears that the embassy facilities will be occupied by angry crowds. This tension has enveloped the entire city of Baghdad in a sense of depression and unease.
It is worth noting that the so-called "decapitation" operation of the US military seems to have continued the previous large-scale air strikes, and its target is still the secret Iranian forces. However, this operation is more targeted at Allah's brigades than previous B-1 bombers that dropped large quantities of ammunition against more than 85 "Iranian-related" targets. This shows a subtle change in the strategic adjustment of the US side, trying to respond to Iran's expansion of influence in the Middle East with more precise and limited strikes.
Allah's brigades "are active in Iraq, and after the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they warned of retaliation against US military bases." After the drone attack on the "Tower 22" base, the group further warned that they have unused long-range ** and that all bases in the Middle East with a US military presence could become targets if the United States dares to retaliate. This tough attitude and threats have forced the US military to act cautiously, and it has also highlighted the influence and determination of "Allah's Brigades" in the Iraqi region.
However, despite the U.S. military's attempts to solve the problem through the decapitation operation, this operation has not fundamentally solved the dilemma it faces in the Middle East. There are many anti-American forces in the region, including the Houthis in distant Yemen. Clearly, the U.S. military is trying to ease the pressure by avoiding direct confrontation with Iran and opting to attack more vulnerable targets. But even smaller armed groups have a certain ability to fight back, leaving the U.S. military in a difficult position. This complex situation has made the United States face unprecedented challenges and difficulties in the Middle East.
