Islamic Resistance in Iraq Vows to Expel US Troops

By Al Mayadeen English

Kataib Hezbollah Secretary-General warns that the Resistance will pursue armed struggle until US troops are expelled from the country.

The Secretary-General of Kataib Hezbollah Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi said the faction had set its mind on liberating Iraq, utilizing military means. "This is settled," he sternly said.

Sheikh al-Kaabi promised that the movement would continue its armed struggle until the goal of expelling United States military forces from Iraq is achieved. 

"We will not stop, we will not settle, we will not back out," the leader emphasized, promising greater action in the coming days.

The US occupation set up its bases in Iraq following its invasion and occupation of the country in 2003. Although Washington has reduced its military presence in Iraq under the plight of the resistance, it still maintains tens of camps and two airbases in the country.

Amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Resistance in Iraq rose to the occasion and has been targeting US military bases in northeastern Syria and Iraq since October 13. The attacks come in opposition to the US-backed Israeli aggression on Gaza and in the context of expelling foreign forces from Iraq, which has suffered for more than 20 years from the US aggressive foreign policy in the Middle East.

Earlier today, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced targeting the US occupation base in al-Tanf using two drones, confirming direct hits.

The Pentagon had announced that American forces were subjected to approximately 27 attacks between October 17 and October 30.

Yesterday, the United States occupation base in al-Omar oil field, in eastern Deir Ezzor, Syria, was targeted by rocket fire. 

Moreover, sources revealed that the attack coincided with a series of loud explosions within the American base.

The US has also treated the attacks with extreme secrecy, to avoid the repercussions of admitting real losses in these attacks.
