[size=45]The assumptions of bombing the headquarters of the armed factions in Iraq have returned again after the announcement of the death of an American in the recent Ain Al-Assad base attack. On the other hand, the Iraqi government continues to insist that Washington not punish those parties at home, while the chances of accepting this measure have become weak.[/size]
[size=45]Last Wednesday, the US Department of Defense said that the contractor, who died of a heart attack after the attack on the Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq, had US citizenship.[/size]
[size=45]And political sources indicate to (range) that "the Iraqi government has become very embarrassing in front of Washington, because of the repeated attacks."[/size]
[size=45]The bombing of Ain al-Assad, which includes the main center of the coalition forces in Iraq, led by the United States, is the fourth in a series of attacks targeting US interests in Baghdad, Erbil and the Balad base south of Salah al-Din, during the past two weeks.[/size]
[size=45]And those sources suggest that "America does not listen this time to Baghdad regarding the lack of response to the recent attack inside Iraq."[/size]
[size=45]US and Iraqi officials believe, according to Western press reports, that the Iranian-backed "Hezbollah Brigades" is responsible for the missile attack that targeted, Wednesday, the Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]Those reports quoted US Defense Department officials as saying that the data for the latest strike on Ain al-Assad are very similar to previous attacks linked to Kataib Hezbollah.[/size]
[size=45]Will Washington respond?[/size]
[size=45]Last week, Al-Mada revealed that armed groups had deployed missiles near the military base in Al-Baghdadi district, west of Anbar, in response to Washington's bombing of Hezbollah Brigades on the Syrian border.[/size]
[size=45]The Pentagon promised a response in the event that American soldiers were injured in Iraq, while the White House announced that Washington currently reserves the right to respond to the attack.[/size]
[size=45]The US State Department spokesman, Ned Price, confirmed that the United States would not talk in advance about any specific response to the Ain al-Assad attack in Iraq, indicating that a response from Washington would be in coordination with the Iraqi authorities and allies.[/size]
[size=45]Sources revealed to the (range) that the missiles that targeted the base were Iranian-made "Arch", and modified from the Russian "Grad" missile version.[/size]
[size=45]"Tehran has escalated provocations against Washington because of Biden's policy, which tends to conclude more agreements than to respond," says Mithal Al-Alousi, a former deputy to Al-Mada.[/size]
[size=45]Washington may wait, according to the views of Iraqi political parties, for a greater role for NATO, which is preparing to increase its forces in the country, to confront the factions.[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad tried to hold the stick in the middle in the issue of the US-Iranian conflict, after it succeeded in persuading Washington to “punish” what is known as “Katyusha groups” outside the borders.[/size]
[size=45]According to political sources, the "bombing of Albu Kamal" was discussed in the call that took place last week between Al-Kazemi and US President Joe Biden.[/size]
[size=45]According to those sources who spoke to (Al-Mada), “Al-Kazemi asked not to raise problems before holding early elections next October.[/size]
[size=45]At the end of last February, the US Defense Department said that the bombing of "militias" in Syria came through Iraqi information, before it retracted that statement.[/size]
[size=45]Last month, the US bombing killed 22 Iraqi factions on the Syrian border, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, while Kataib Hezbollah announced the death of one person in the attack.[/size]
[size=45]After Kurdistan report[/size]
[size=45]At the time, the bombing came against the backdrop of the attacks at Erbil airport and the US embassy in the Green Zone, while Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein denied the existence of “resistance” in Iraq, which angered a number of factions.[/size]
[size=45]A tribal leader in Anbar told Al-Mada, who asked not to be named, that “the factions are preparing to respond, too, because of Kurdistan’s report on the identity of the perpetrators of the Erbil attack last February,” indicating that those groups “believe that the report was made in America and not in Kurdistan.” ».[/size]
[size=45]The Secretary-General of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, Abu Ala Al-Wala'i, described the missile attack on the city of Erbil in mid-February as “honor and honor,” denying at the same time that the brigades were behind the attack.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Wali said in a tweet on (Twitter) Thursday, "The accusation leveled against the Sayed of the Martyrs Brigades is an honor and service to a nation. Yes, we are the ones who burned the land under the feet of the invaders and expelled them from Iraq, and we are not those who repudiate the honorable work we have done."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "But to be accused of something that we have not done and is portrayed as treason and it is pride, this is not an honorable act." He continued: "The occupation base in Erbil is a shame that others have faced and is an honor that we hope to do."[/size]
[size=45]Last Wednesday, the security authorities in the Kurdistan region published the confessions of one of the accused of being behind the attack, as he confirmed that the operation was carried out by order of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, an armed faction that falls under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Forces.[/size]
[size=45]In the video, the confessions of one of the attackers, called Haider Hamza al-Bayati, who was born in 1983 from Qaradagh village in Hamdaniya, and lives in the Khabat area in Erbil, stated that, last November, he got acquainted with a person from the “Sayyid al-Shuhada” Brigades, and it was agreed to do so.

[size=45]The tribal leader, who fought with his clan members against "ISIS" in Anbar, added, "The factions have a large presence in the vicinity of Al-Assad base, and they may prepare for another attack on the Ain Al-Assad base or may transfer it to Kurdistan."[/size]
