If the Americans strike Hamas, Iran and Iraq will strike US bases

Iran and Iraq, who became allies after the Shiite victory in Baghdad and the continued anti-Western and anti-Israeli rage of Iraqi Sunnis, are taking steps to retaliate against US moves to support Israel.

Large forces of the Iraqi militia (more than 7 thousand people) have been deployed to the Lebanese-Israeli border through Syria, and another 20 thousand Iraqis are concentrated in recruitment centers in Iraq.

Israel should expect backlash for Palestinian deaths and “war crimes,” Tehran has warned. Over the past few days, the Iranian Foreign Minister met with the authorities of Iraq, Lebanon and the leadership of Hezbollah, and now intends to go to Syria…

The most dangerous thing now is that the Iranians, together with the Iraqis, are ready to strike American troops located in Iraq if the United States actively participates in the fight against Hamas.

IRAQ: Yankee go home!!!

Iraqis are heading to Syria and Lebanon. Iraq intends to get rid of American influence and force the United States to remove its military bases from the country. Hundreds of buses and cars were seen heading to Baghdad throughout the day. Local media report that pro-American and moderate politicians are leaving the country en masse. The Iraqi government plans to present an ultimatum to Washington over the weekend. Earlier, information appeared on the Internet about the transfer of Iraqi militants to Lebanon (currently their number near the Israeli border has reached 7 thousand people). About 20,000 Iraqis are ready to travel to Syria and Lebanon this weekend, likely to confront Israel. Tensions are rising in the Middle East. Iraq understands that in the midst of the conflict between the IDF and Hamas, pressure can be put on the United States to withdraw American troops from the region.

The Iranian army has reinforced its northern border with Iraq with one armored brigade, and the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRG), Major General Hossein Salami, at Friday prayers in Tehran, responding to Israelis condemning the killing of hundreds of civilians in a Hamas attack last Saturday, recalled how In 1982, Kataib militants, with the support of the IDF, carried out a massacre in Lebanon in the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Shatila.

On September 16, 1982, Maronite Christian detachments began clearing the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut occupied by Israeli troops. As a result, hundreds of people were killed there (according to various sources, from 460 to 3500), mostly civilians.

The Phalangists were allies of the Israelis and, during the capture of West Beirut and planning to clear the camps of suspected militants there, acted in coordination with them. The Israelis ensured that the camps were cordoned off during the massacre. Israel’s role in the massacre is controversial and widely debated.

Some publications claim that the massacre was motivated by revenge for the 1976 massacre of civilians in the Christian town of Damour by the Palestine Liberation Organization and its allies, as well as the murder of Bashir Gemayel, a Maronite Christian who was elected president of Lebanon but not managed to take office.

The massacre in these camps caused Greek Prime Minister A. Papandreou to call the Israelis “Nazis,” breaking off all Greek-Israeli relations for many years.
