A security source comments on the US aggression that struck Iraq and Syria, affirming that the occupation's conduct will not deter the Resistance, but encourage them to retaliate.

A security source of the Iranian Advisory Center in Syria affirmed that the "aggression on Iraq and Syria is a blatant violation of sovereignty and aggression on these countries' soil," following US strikes on several of the countries' facilities.

In a statement to UNews, the source explicitly condemned the aggression and rejected the falsities it is based on, stressing that it will have grave consequences on the presence of US forces in the region, and will attract additional retaliation against this aggressive behavior.

The source added that the targeting of these facilities confirms that the US occupation in both countries is working for its own security interests and those of the occupation entity, which makes it an actual occupying force. It also affirms that the US must leave the region at all costs, because it has caused instability and created chaos.

It was also reasserted that the Iraqi and Syrian governments and people will not stand for any occupation or aggression on their soil, noting that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq's decision to face the US occupation in support of Palestine will no doubt continue, stronger than before.

The source also told UNews that these strikes will not deter resistance fighters from fighting the enemy on all fronts and in all arenas, adding that the Resistance factions that defend Iraq and Syria will also defend the oppressed people of Palestine, regardless of the sacrifice. 

The source stressed that the preventive measures taken by the Resistance factions in Iraq and Syria thwarted the expected losses from the attacks. Emphasizing that the IRGC does not have any centers, bases, barracks, or facilities in Syria and Iraq, the source slammed the US claim as a well-known fallacy.

This comes after US forces struck numerous facilities, CENTCOM claimed, including command and control operation rooms, intelligence centers, rockets, missiles, UAV storage, and supply chain facilities in Syria and Iraq.

CENTCOM said it "employed more than 125 precision munitions" in the airstrikes.

In the wake of the lengthy bombing campaign, Biden claimed that he was not after a war in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world.

An Al Mayadeen correspondent, meanwhile, reported that explosions were being heard from the US occupation's Conoco base, with plumes of smoke seen rising from the military site. The Conoco base was reportedly attacked, though it is unclear where the attack came from and what the nature of it is.

Al Mayadeen captured earlier on Friday footage of three US drones flying over the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Baghdad, Abdullah Badran, pointed out that three UAVs were flying over the heart of Baghdad, the Green Zone, which houses the Prime Minister's office, Parliament, diplomatic missions, the Defense Ministry, and other key government ministries and institutions.
