TEHRAN – The Islamic resistance in Iraq has hinted at the emergence of a new equation linking regional security dynamics to developments in Iran and Lebanon.

In recent statements, the Coordination Committee of the Iraqi Resistance emphasized that years of war and regional crises have demonstrated a single governing principle: security must be shared by all, or no party will ultimately remain secure. 

According to the resistance, this principle now shapes their response to the ongoing tensions in the region. The committee stressed that the security and stability of Iran, as well as Lebanon, and in particular the southern suburbs of Beirut, an area densely populated with civilians, cannot be separated from the broader regional security framework. 

Any attempt to undermine the safety of these areas, it warned, would have repercussions extending beyond Iraq and directly affect foreign interests across West Asia.

In particular, Iraqi resistance groups stated that attacks on civilian areas in Iran and Lebanon could lead to threats against diplomatic missions belonging to states involved in the aggression. They warned that embassies located in countries such as Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Lebanon will come under fire if the situation escalates further. The warning extended beyond diplomatic targets. 

Iraqi resistance factions have vowed that major American oil companies operating in the “Arabian Peninsula” will face attack. The statement framed these warnings as part of a broader deterrence strategy, signaling that regional instability would not remain confined to one geographic area.

These developments come amid escalating tensions following the Israeli regime’s threats to strike entire districts in the southern suburbs of Beirut, alongside continued air raids targeting residential buildings in Iran by the U.S. and the Zionist regime. 

At the same time, factions operating under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have intensified their own military activities. On Sunday its forces carried out 24 operations over the past 24 hours, targeting enemy bases in Iraq and across the region.

The group said that dozens of drones and missiles were used in these operations. In a separate attack, the resistance said it downed an American MQ-9 drone over the province of Salah al-Din, describing the operation as part of a broader response to the U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran.

In a statement following the attack, the resistance asserted that Washington and its allies were attempting to mobilize international support against Iran, including efforts to bring some European states into the war. The group warned that any country participating in military aggression against Iran would be considered an adversary by resistance factions.

According to the statements, forces and interests belonging to those states, whether in Iraq or elsewhere in the region, would become legitimate targets should they become directly involved in hostilities. 

Iraqi resistance factions have also reported a surge in attacks targeting hostile military installations. Military media affiliated with the resistance said dozens of drones and missiles had been used in coordinated strikes against foreign bases in Iraq and other parts of the region.

One faction, Saraya Awliya al-Dam (Blood Guardians Brigades) announced that it had launched a missile strike on the Victory Base complex located near Baghdad International Airport, where American forces have maintained a presence. The group described the operation as both retaliation and deterrence in response to the attacks that had killed Iraqi resistance fighters.

Additional operations were reported near Erbil in northern Iraq. Saraya Awliya al-Dam stated that a swarm of drones had targeted a base used by American forces near Erbil International Airport. The group added that another strike targeted a hotel in the city used as a residence by American personnel.

The same faction also claimed responsibility for an operation against a strategic target in Jordan. Taken together, these actions were presented by Iraqi resistance groups as part of a coordinated campaign aimed at confronting foreign military presence in the region.

According to other statements, fighters recently carried out more than two dozen operations within a single 24-hour period. These operations involved large numbers of drones and missiles aimed at bases belonging to American forces throughout Iraq and the wider region.

The escalation has unfolded alongside U.S. aggression on positions linked to Iraqi security formations. A facility belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in the Nineveh Plains in northern Iraq was targeted in an airstrike, with the site belonging to the 50th Brigade of the force. 

Additional strikes were reported against positions associated with PMF operations in Jurf al-Nasr near Baghdad, though officials said those attacks did not result in casualties.

These incidents are occurring against the backdrop of a war initiated by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran. Iran has responded with strikes on major U.S. military bases across the region, which officials say are being used to launch attacks against Iran. It has also targeted military and security sites belonging to the Israeli regime.

For Iraqi resistance factions, the current escalation is framed as part of a larger regional struggle in which multiple fronts are interconnected. Developments in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and elsewhere are seen as components of a single strategic arena.

Within this framework, the resistance groups argue that opening a support front is both a strategic necessity and a continuation of longstanding alliances shaped by shared religious ties, cultural connections, and years of cooperation during the fight against terrorist organizations such as Daesh.

For many of these resistance groups, the memory of joint battles against terrorist groups, foreign occupation, and the support they received from Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah during those years, remains a defining factor in their current stance. 

As tensions continue to rise, Iraqi resistance factions appear determined to signal that conflicts affecting their allies will not remain isolated events, but part of a broader regional equation that could reshape the security landscape of West Asia.
