[size=45]Israel is likely to strike Iraq in the coming hours, while there is still a faint hope that may remove the specter of war from the country.
Experts and pages on electronic platforms have begun sending warnings to Iraqis to stay away from some sites that may be targeted.
Most analyses indicate that the expected Israeli strikes may be directed exclusively against the headquarters of the factions.
It seems that all diplomatic means have now been exhausted in preventing the expected attack.
Alina Romansky, the US ambassador to Baghdad, said that Israel warned Iraq of “the militias that attack Israel.”
She added in a statement to journalists, “These militias are the ones who started attacking Israel. Our message to the Iraqi government is to control these unruly militias.”
She stressed that “Israel is a sovereign nation and they will respond to any attack against them from anywhere.”
Stopping the attacks
Information has been circulating during the past 48 hours that Israel will attack Iraq on November 26 or 27.
In contrast, National Security Adviser Qasim al-Araji denied that the Azerbaijani ambassador conveyed messages from the Zionist entity to Iraq.
Al-Araji said in a post on the (X) platform, “We deny what some websites have reported about the Azerbaijani ambassador in Baghdad conveying messages from the occupying entity to the Iraqi side.”
Al-Araji called on the media to be accurate in reporting news and to rely on official sources.
The government had announced “military measures” to secure Iraqi airspace and the western borders, and to prevent the activity of factions.
Fadi al-Shammari, an advisor to the Prime Minister, revealed that “the government has stopped many missile launch platforms.”
However, al-Shammari did not comment on the arrest of those involved, while stressing that “the danger of an Israeli strike still exists,” according to television statements.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry had sent a letter to the President of the UN Security Council to confront the activities of the Iraqi factions.
A political source close to the “Coordination Framework” said that “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani promised the Shiite alliance to stop the attacks and protect the country.”
He stressed that “preventing attacks by factions from within will be through dialogue and not by using force.”
The Israeli report to the Security Council included the names of six Iraqi military formations:
Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Kata’ib Hezbollah, Badr Forces, Harakat al-Nujaba, Ansar Allah al-Awfiya, and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada.
Israel said that they are affiliated with the “Popular Mobilization Forces,” accusing the group of receiving sponsorship from the Iraqi government and directives from Iran.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said that Baghdad had received a “clear threat” from Israel.
Hussein confirmed, in a speech during a forum in Dohuk a few days ago, that “the armed forces received orders from the prime minister to prevent any attacks launched from Iraqi territory.”
He stressed that Iraq “does not want war and seeks to remove its danger,” according to the official news agency.
Lebanon truce
The factions, in turn, continue their escalating rhetoric against Israel, and refuse to abandon the principle of “unity of arenas.” According to Kazem Al-Fartousi, spokesman for the Sayyed Al-Shuhada Brigades.
The “Haddat al-Sahdat” coalition is a military alliance led by Iran to strike Israel from Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and Yemen.
Al-Fartousi, in televised statements, confirmed that “the target of the resistance will be the entire world if it is struck,” and threatened to target oil facilities in the Gulf.
However, some information suggests that if a “truce” is concluded in Lebanon, the factions’ operations may stop, and then Iraq will avoid an Israeli strike. So
far, the “truce” has not been announced, which is supposed to last for 60 days, and is guaranteed by the United Nations, America, and European countries.
Ghazi Faisal, a former diplomat, believes that “concluding the truce does not mean the end of the threat against the Iraqi factions.”
Faisal adds: “The truce is not with Iran, the Iraqi factions, or the groups in Yemen. The war in Lebanon will only stop after Hezbollah is defeated politically and militarily.”
The former diplomat believes that “Israel will continue its surgical operations—if the war in Lebanon stops—in Syria and Iraq to strike weapons depots, control centers, and equipment.”
Faisal, who heads the Iraqi Center for Strategic Studies, points out that Iraq has made diplomatic efforts with the United States and the Arab League, “but the state is not the target.”
He continues, “Israel’s war is not with the Iraqi government, but with the factions.”[/size]
