The Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades announced their intention to attack U.S. bases in response to recent strikes. The announcement came after bombardment targeted sites in Jurf al‑Sakhar, resulting in two deaths and several injuries. The region is witnessing escalating military tensions following the Israeli‑American attack on Iran, which responded by striking several Gulf cities, raising fears of a widening conflict.

The Brigades’ operations command said in a brief statement, "We will soon begin attacking U.S. bases in response to their aggression.”

This development follows an earlier strike on the Jurf al‑Sakhar (Jurf al‑Nasr) area north of Babylon, which targeted facilities belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces, leaving two dead and several wounded, according to security and official sources. Investigations into the circumstances of the attack are still ongoing.

The Middle East and Gulf region are experiencing unprecedented military escalation after Israel and the United States carried out an attack on Iran, which quickly retaliated with strikes targeting Israel and several cities in the region.

Reports indicate that the attacks reached cities in Manama, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, raising serious concerns that the confrontation could expand into a full‑scale regional conflict.
