The "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" announced today, Sunday, that it targeted an American base west of the Syrian city of Hasakah using drones. In a statement, it confirmed that its members struck the American base "Tal Birder" west of the city, asserting that it was hit directly. Yesterday, the security official of the Hezbollah Brigades, Abu Ali Al-Askari, threatened that the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Iraq "will be met with unprecedented escalation," indicating that the brigades would close the U.S. embassy in a "special non-peaceful" manner.
