The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced in a statement that its fighters targeted the two US bases, Conoco and the Green Village, in Syrian territory, using drones.

The Resistance affirmed its commitment to continue "resisting the American occupation of Iraq," and targeting its bases in the region, adding that its operations come in response to the massacres of the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier on Friday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the US Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq was targeted with drones.

Recently, the Iraqi Resistance expanded its scope of operations amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, with the Secretary-General of the Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, Abu Alaa al-Walai, announcing that the Resistance has transited to the second phase of its operations in which it will work on enforcing blockading Mediterranean maritime routes to the Israeli-occupied ports in occupied Palestine.

Al-Walai explained that the second phase of operations would include the enforcement of a blockade on "Zionist maritime navigation in the Mediterranean" and "putting [Israeli] ports out of service."

The Iraqi Resistance has proved that it has the capabilities to target Israeli occupation ports located on the Mediterranean coast. The largest of which, the Haifa port and the "Ashdod" port have come under attack at least twice in 2024.

It is worth noting that the Iraqi Resistance has also launched multiple attacks on the Israeli sites in the occupied Syrian Golan and the occupied port town of Um al-Rashrash or "Eilat", as referred to by Israelis.

SDF asserts 'right to retaliate' against strikes near Deir Hafer

This comes shortly after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq warned the Iraqi government and security apparatuses from "granting immunity to any foreign force under any pretext," in a statement released on Friday afternoon.

The remarks come against the backdrop of talks expected to be held between Iraqi and US officials to assess the future role of US-led coalition forces in the country, under the auspices of the "U.S.-Iraq Higher Military Commission (HMC)."

By renewing the processes of the HMC, the US seeks to claim that it is committed to "regional stability and Iraqi sovereignty," as asserted by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in an immediate release earlier.

However, the Iraqi Resistance said Washington's attempt to launch the HMC working groups is an attempt to further "confuse" the security situation in Iraq and "turn the tables on the [Islamic Resistance] and gain time to carry out more devilish crimes and plots to harm [the Iraqi] people and nation."

The Resistance stressed that the "American enemy" had only acted in "betrayal and tyranny," failing to implement for years the decisions of the Iraqi parliament and disregarding the masses' demand to expel foreign forces from the country.

Resistance demands all-encompassing withdrawal

Moreover, the Resistance stressed that the American move to comply with the Iraqi government's request to commence the HMC's work "would not have occurred" were it not for the factions' operations against US assets in the region.

In this context, the Resistance promised to carry on with its operations against "foreign presence", advising authorities not to engage in dialogue with the US regarding its "alleged withdrawal" from Iraq, until it shows that it is seriously committed to such action.

On his part, the head of the security office of Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah reiterated the Resistance's steadfast position against the foreign presence on Iraqi soil.

The Islamic Resistance explained that a withdrawal should encompass the withdrawal of US drones, military aircraft, and all other forces from Iraq. It added that the US military should hand over command centers to the Iraqi side and call back all of its military officers from the site.

Finally, the group stressed, "While expressing our appreciation for the stances of those rejecting foreign dominance, we warn against granting immunity to any foreign force under any pretext. This also includes any commitment from the government or its security apparatus to protect these invading killers. If this happens, it would be a historical betrayal of Iraq and the blood of its martyrs."
