Iraqi Islamic Resistance Warns European Countries: Forces and Interests in Iraq Are Legitimate Targets if They Join War Against Iran

The Islamic Resistance of Iraq issued a statement Thursday morning warning that any European country that participates in the U.S. and Israeli war against the Islamic Republic of Iran will have its forces and interests in Iraq treated as legitimate targets. The group said the warning applies to any European nation that takes an active role in military operations against Tehran. The declaration marks a direct escalation in threats from Iran-aligned Iraqi factions targeting Western interests in the region.
