Who bombed the Iranian missile batteries in Iraq?
While there is no proof Israel was behind last week’s attack on an Iraqi military base, its message was quite clear: The stationing in Iraq of Iranian ballistic missiles is unacceptable.
(July 23, 2019 / JCPA) Iraq is back in the headlines. Two weeks after the Iraqi Ambassador to the U.S. Fareed Yasseen made waves by saying that “there are objective reasons that may call for the establishment of relations between Iraq and Israel,†some in the Arab world now point to Israel as being behind last week’s attack on Iraq’s Al-Shuhada military base.
On Friday, the Iraqi army announced that a military base near the town of Amerli in eastern Salahuddin, north of Baghdad, had been bombed by a drone. According to Al Arabiya, at least one person was killed and two wounded in the attack.
The base used by pro-Iranian militias of the Hashd al-Shaabi (Iraqi Popular Mobilization Force), which includes a Shi’ite Turkmen Brigade. The unit recently received Iranian ballistic missiles, hidden inside food-delivery trucks.
