US BASES IN IRAQ, SYRIA TARGETED BY DRONES, ROCKETS

US Bases in Iraq, Syria Targeted by Drones, Rockets

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Two military facilities housing US occupation forces in Iraq's Kurdistan region and Syria's Hasakah province were struck by drones and rockets.  


The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an anti-terror umbrella group, claimed responsibility for the attack on the al-Harir Air Base, situated north of Erbil International Airport. The base was targeted by two drones, which "directly hit their targets."

The attack was linked to Washington's support for Israel's aggression against Gaza. The US House of Representatives recently passed a $14 billion aid bill, including billions for Israel's military.

Various US officials have also supported Israel's actions and rejected ceasefire plans at the UN. Washington vetoed a UN Security Council resolution last month that called for humanitarian pauses in the Gaza conflict.


The war initiated by Israel against Gaza has claimed the lives of nearly 9,227 Palestinians, including thousands of children and women, since October 7, following Gaza's al-Aqsa Storm operation.

In northeastern Syria, a volley of rockets targeted a military base where US forces and allied militants are stationed.

The head of the Iraqi resistance group Harakat Hezbollah Nujaba stated that the battle against US occupation forces will continue until they fully withdraw from Iraq. He emphasized the readiness of the Iraqi resistance to join the fight against Zionists.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said it is determined to liberate the country, with a commitment to ensuring that neither the US nor Israeli authorities can sleep peacefully while Palestinian children suffer under heavy Israeli bombardment.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey found only 32 percent of respondents said “the US should support Israel”. That is down from 41 percent from a poll conducted on October 12-13 – just days after the war broke out. About 68 percent of respondents said they agreed with the statement, “Israel should call a ceasefire and try to negotiate”. Some 39 percent supported the idea “the US should be a neutral mediator”, compared with 27 percent a month earlier. Only 4 percent of respondents said the United States should support Palestinians, while 15 percent said the US shouldn’t be involved at all in the war. While the US has been a significant Israeli ally, just 31 percent of respondents said they supported sending Israel weapons. The plunge in support fol

US ‘Biggest Nuclear Threat’: China

  TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The United States poses the greatest danger to the world when it comes to the risks of a potential nuclear conflict, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang told journalists on Friday. Beijing has accused Washington of making “irresponsible decisions” in attempts to maintain its hegemony, including through intimidating the international community with its nuclear arsenal, RT reported. The damning statement came in response to the Pentagon’s decision to upgrade US Forces Japan into a joint force headquarters under the command of a three-star officer reporting to the commander of the Indo-Pacific Command. The announcement was made by the US Defense Department in late July following the meeting of the American and Japanese defense and foreign policy chiefs. US Defense Secretary Llyod Austin hailed the development as “one of the strongest improvements in our military ties with Japan in 70 years” at that time. He also said that the two sides “held a separate
