US bases in Iraq, Syria come under drone attacks by resistance fighters

Fighters from regional resistance groups have reportedly carried out operations against American bases in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for the ongoing US-Israeli onslaught against Iran, and acts of aggression elsewhere in the West Asia region.

According to Iraqi media outlets, the Harir Airbase in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region was struck with an unmanned aerial vehicle in the early hours of Tuesday.

There was no immediate information about possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

No group has claimed responsibility for the retaliatory attack yet.

This comes as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced in a statement that it had launched at least 11 strikes against bases accommodating US occupation troops in Iraq and throughout the region in the past 24 hours, using kamikaze drones.

It's either security for all or security for none, warns Iraq's Kataeb Hezbollah

The Kataeb Hezbollah leader said, "The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened to the enemies.”

In a related development, multiple powerful explosions ripped through the US-run military facility in the Qasrak district of Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah, after the installation was bombed by a number of armed drones.

Iraqi NTV television channel asserted that the attack had been carried out by Iraqi resistance groups, without specifically naming the responsible movement.

For their part, Syrian news agencies said a number of US military aircraft scrambled to confront the intruding drones, but to no avail.

Tensions have been soaring ever since the United States and Israel initiated a bloody onslaught against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders.

The aggression has comprised a series of intensive strikes on both military installations and civilian facilities throughout Iran, leading to considerable loss of life and widespread damage to infrastructure.

In response, Iranian Armed Forces have carried out waves of retaliatory missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
