Zebari expects America to strike three factions in Iraq

Shafaq News / The leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Hoshyar Zebari, expected on Wednesday that the United States of America would target three factions under the banner of the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” in response to the Jordanian attack.

Zebari wrote on the “X – Twitter” website previously, “The upcoming American strikes will be different and devastating against the axis of the Iraqi Islamic Resistance, which is composed of factions: Kataib Hezbollah, Al-Nujaba, and Sayyid Al-Shuhada, who openly targeted American forces and their facilities in Iraq and Kurdistan.” And Syria,” adding that “perhaps their responsible leaders and headquarters are currently against the government’s decisions.”

Yesterday, Tuesday, Iraq’s Hezbollah Brigades announced the cessation of its operations against American forces in order “not to embarrass the Iraqi government,” recommending its fighters to “temporarily passive defense.”

On Sunday, January 28, the US Army announced that three of its soldiers were killed and dozens wounded in a march attack targeting a base housing US forces in Jordan.

American media reported that the targeted site was “Tower 22”, a small military site in Jordan, near the country’s border with Syria.

In response to this attack, American officials said that the United States is considering launching strikes against armed factions in Iraq, Syria, and Iran.

US President Joe Biden said yesterday, Tuesday, that he had made a decision about the nature of the response to the Jordan attack, which killed 3 American soldiers and injured more than 30 others.

Biden explained that he “made the decision on the nature of the response to the attacks that killed American soldiers in Jordan,” adding, “We do not want a broader war in the Middle East.”
