Despite US alleged deterrence measures and reinforcements, Resistance attacks on US bases seem to increase both in scope and intensity.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq released a statement, on Saturday, revealing its action of striking two US military occupation bases situated in Syria.

The targeted locations were al-Tanf and al-Shadadi US military occupation bases.

On Friday, al-Nujabaa Movement carried out its initial military retaliation targeting four US military bases in both Iraq and Syria in response to the US assassination of Hajj Moshtaq Taleb al-Saidi (Abou Taqwa), under the pretext of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) official's role in targeting US bases in the region.

Al-Nujabaa Movement targeted four US bases, namely Al-Rukban, al-Omar, al-Tanf, and Harir bases.

The big picture 

Although the US has carried out several strikes against the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which includes several Iraqi Resistance factions, such as martyr Abou Taqwa's al-Nujabaa Movement, targeting PMF officials marks an unprecedented escalation.

In detail, the PMF is a military group mainly relying on the Iraqi citizens who took on the responsibility of fighting rapidly spreading terrorism in the region. The PMF acts under the jurisdiction of the Iraqi government, therefore holding an official governmental status. Furthermore, the site of the assassination belongs to the Iraqi Ministry of Interior, marking yet another flagrant violation by US forces. 

The Pentagon did not shy away from accepting responsibility for the attack, as its spokesperson Pat Ryder detailed the US plot just a few hours later. 

"I can confirm that on January 4, approximately 12:00 p.m. Iraq time, US forces took necessary and proportionate action against Mushtaq Jawad Kazim al-Jawari, aka Abu Taqwa, who is a Harakat-al-Nujaba leader. Abu Taqwa was actively involved in planning and carrying out attacks against American personnel."
