Iranian-backed Iraqi armed groups have issued a warning that U.S. military bases in Iraq and the broader region will be targeted if the United States retaliates against Iranian missile strikes on Israel. They also threatened action if Israel utilizes Iraqi airspace for operations against Iran. This statement follows heightened tensions in the region, with the potential for increased conflict as various factions respond to recent hostilities. The Iraqi military emphasized that any involvement by the U.S. would escalate the situation and put their bases at risk.
