War declare din #Iraq;

#US bombed Kataeb Hezbollah position in Jurf al-Sakher. US claimed Kataeb Hezbollah is responsible for the bombing of al-Taji base where 2 US and 1 British soldiers were killed and 12 wounded.

This is a serious escalation giving the green light to a war

#US would be considered a legitimate target by the Iraqi resistance groups and escalation can only be expected from today onward: the war is open between #US forces and Iraqi groups.

More than five #Iraq Popular Mobilisation forces (the force formed to fight #ISIS and is part of the Iraqi security forces under the command of the Iraqi Prime Minister) locations have been bombed by #US forces that are supposed to protect Iraq from ISIS.+

#US is violating the agreement of its presence in #Iraq to defend Iraqi forces against #ISIS and is imposing its own rules. It is up to the Iraqi government to defend the country against occupiers and terrorists, but also against foreign forces violating its sovereignty+

#Iraq parliament decided to expel #US forces from the country. The US rejected the lawful decision of the parliament and therefore is considered an occupation force. Any resistance against the US would be legitimate by local Iraqi.

The US continue killing Iraqi security forces and can only expect an all-out-war against its occupation forces in #Iraq.

All this is happening due to the unlawful #US assassination of Iraqi and Iranian commanders in #Baghdad, imposing the law of the jungle in #Iraq.

#BreakingNews:

Harakat al-Nujabaa military commander: "The rule of engagement will change". This means #Iraq/i resistance will use different weapons against the #US in Iraq.
It confirms US bombed Karbalaa civil airport, Iraqi army and emergency forces.

#Iraq Nujabaa communique' said clearly: "an eye for an eye". This means the war is open between Iraqi resistance and the #US occupation forces.

Instead of concentrating on #coronavirus and the stock market crash, Trump goes to war in Iraq.

#Iraq security forces fought against #ISIS for years and absorb a large number of casualties in their forthcoming war against the #US. Is Donald Trump ready for this war while going towards a second mandate?

Many analysts & mainstream media define Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces as "pro-Iran militia". This is a way to say it is a war between the #US & #Iran, disregarding the essential factor that the US is bombing Iraqi in #Iraq when it has no right to violate Iraq sovereignty.

In fact, the #US has no right to stay in #Iraq at all and not only bomb its civilian airport and official army and security forces.

Iraqi have precision missiles and armed drones. Iraq is not #Yemen but the US worst nightmare.

#US bombing #Karbalaa civilian airport killed an #Iraq/i civilian cleaner living in the compound.

#Iraq #USA
The body of an Iraqi killed by the US bombing after midnight against the Iraqi army and security forces bases in Iraq.

Two Iraqi soldiers and two civilians were killed by the #US unlawful bombing of #Iraq civilian airport in Karbala and other locations to the Iraqi Army and the PMU forces.

There were victims in the unlawful #US drones attack on the anti-ISIS forces stationed at al-Bu Qamal, on the Syrian-Iraqi borders in the last 24 hours.

The final count of the #US unlawful attack on #Iraq security forces, police and Army last night that took place without the approval of Iraq:
2 killed and 2 wounded from Babel Police,
2 Iraqi Army soldiers killed
1 civilian killed at Karbala airport
5 wounded from PMU

This is the beginning of the war between the #US and the #Iraq/i. This time, a big part of the Shia (who represent over 65% of the country) who are standing against the US in Iraq and no longer part of the Sunni & one small Shia group like Asaeb Ahl al-Haq (in 2006-2011)

The #Iraq PMU will issue a communique' in the next hour. No Kataeb Hezbollah or Harakat al-Nijabaa were killed. Their locations and bases are empty since yesterday and will remain as such until total US withdrawal.
6 killed in total (one under the rubble still) in the attack.

Grand Ayatollah Sistani's representation in Karbala, al-Ataba al-Husseyniyah, condemned the #US attack on Karbala civilian airport.

Well done Trump: keep angering the Marjaiya.

#BreakingNews:

#Iraq #Baghdad accuses the #UK of participating with the #US to the bombing that killed 5 members of the Police, the Army and one civilian at Karbalaa civilian airport directed by the Grand Ayatollah Sistani.

#Iraq

#Baghdad Foreign Ministry will summon this afternoon both Ambassadors of #US and #UK in #Iraq to condemn the attack on governmental institutions and security/armed forces and a civilian airport.

An Iraqi working at the Kitchen at Karbalaa civilian airport killed last night by the #US forces was promoted to the rank of an #IRGC #Iranian General overnight by Twitterati and got thousands of retweets and likes.

#US central command said, "its objective was to destroy all #Iraq Kataeb Hezbollah military capability".

US military command has achieved its objective by bombing a civilian airport run by Sayyed Sistani, killing Iraqi police and army service members .

Impressive achievement.

Even #Iraq Joint Operation Command (Iraqi and US forces together) is condemning the #US aggression. Read the thread:

#US central command's objective to destroy all Kataeb Hezbollah's military capability reminds me of #Israel 2006 war on #Lebanon's objective to disarm Hezbollah. Israeli objective failed and Hezbollah is more equipped than ever.
Expect the same in #Iraq.

#BreakingNews:

Even if it won't reach its final target, #Baghdad wants to present a case against the #US at the UNSC for its violation of Iraq sovereignty, it's killing of Iraqi forces and its refusal to withdraw as decided by the #Iraq/i parliament.

Another blow to Trump.
