Fars News reporting in Iran that Kataib Hezbollah has "warned Turkey: Withdraw your forces before it's too late"...usually when Iran media that is close to IRGC messages something like this, an action may follow. Watch closely if KH or a "new group" linked to them does something
There have been previous incidents where pro-Iran militias targeted Turkish forces in Iraq, usually the Bashiqa base, for instance back in November; rudaw.net/english/middle…
It's important to recall that while many Turkish forces in Iraq are concentrated in a string of mountain bases and outposts, which Ankara claims is to fight "terrorism"...that the Bashiqa camp is on the border of the KRG, and is within range of the 107mm and 122mm from Nineveh
The Pro-Iran militias of the Hashd (PMU) have forces in Nineveh they have used to target Erbil airport to target US forces over the last year, using drones or rockets. It is possible that KH expertise in drones could be used
KH has been using drones also against Saudi Arabia since May 2019, and most recently a new "group" reportedly targeted UAE from Iraq middleeasteye.net/news/yemen-uae…
I have reported systematically on the developing threat by Iranian-backed Iraqi militias using drones and other weapons, targeting both Iraq and the Gulf, as well as Israel, jpost.com/middle-east/ir…
These groups also stage ballistic missiles for Iran and traffic munitions to Albukamal and then onward to Lebanon and Hezbollah operatives in the Golan area and also those groups used them against Tanf etc.
here is the threat; farsnews.ir/news/140011160…
