After announcing that its fighters had targeted two US bases, Conoco and the Green Village, in Syrian territory, using drones, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said in a statement that its fighters attacked the Conoco base for a second time within hours of the first attack.

The Conoco base was targeted by a barrage of rockets and the resistance confirmed 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.

As a result of these ongoing operations, the United States asked the Iraqi government to hold talks to arrange the status of its forces, while the resistance confirmed that the request “is nothing but an attempt to shuffle the cards, turn the tables on the resistance, and buy time to carry out more crimes and diabolical plans.”

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.

Iraqi Resistance: US should withdraw all force, HMC plot to buy time

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.
