The conflict is widening at a dangerous pace. What began as rising tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States is now pulling Iraq directly into the storm. Fighters from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claim they shot down a powerful MQ-9 Reaper drone over Salah al-Din Province, signalling a bold new phase in the conflict. Within hours, militias announced waves of drone and missile attacks on U.S. bases, including strikes near Erbil International Airport. The warning is clear: if war expands, Iraq’s militias are ready to fight.
