There were more than 600 attacks against US facilities in Iraq during the active conflict of the Iran war, a senior State Department official said today.
The revelation casts new light on the severity of the barrage by Iran and its proxies against the US interests. CNN has reported on a number of missile and drone attacks targeting the US Embassy in Baghdad, the US Diplomatic Support Center and the US Consulate in Erbil.
The Embassy in Baghdad today again warned that “Iraqi terrorist militias aligned with Iran continue to plot additional attacks against U.S. citizens and targets associated with the United States throughout Iraq, including in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR).”
“Some elements associated with the Iraqi government continue to actively provide political, financial, and operational cover for these terrorist militias,” a security alert said.
US officials have called on Iraqi leadership, including Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi to crack down on Iranian-backed militias in the country.
The senior State Department official said Tuesday that Iraqi leaders “understand what the United States is looking for.”
“We’re looking for action, not words,” they said. “There is a very blurry line right now between the Iraqi state and these militias. And it would start with expelling terrorist militias from any state institution, cutting off their support from the Iraqi budget, denying salary payments to these militia fighters. Those are the type of concrete actions that would give us confidence and say that there’s a new mindset.”
