Iraqi Resistance Conducts Major Drone Offensive Against US Military Presence
Baghdad, Iraq – In a significant escalation of regional tensions, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance has announced the execution of 21 operations targeting US military installations across Iraq and the wider region within a 24-hour period. The coordinated strikes, primarily utilizing drone technology, signal a determined posture by resistance factions.
Widespread Operations Reported
A statement released by the Iraqi Islamic Resistance declared that their fighters successfully conducted “dozens of drone operations against the bases of the occupiers in Iraq and the region” on Sunday, March 29, 2026. The scale of the reported offensive indicates a concerted effort to challenge the presence of US forces.
Retaliatory Actions Emphasized
Adding to the claims, the Iraqi group “Saraya Awliya al-Dam” (Guardians of the Blood Brigades) issued its own statement, asserting responsibility for 8 of the operations. The group explicitly framed these actions as a “retaliation” for perceived transgressions and stated their operations were in “retribution for the blood of the martyred Imam Sayyid Ali al-Husseini al-Khamenei and in response to enemy aggressions that led to the martyrdom of a number of Iraqi resistance fighters.” This highlights the ideological underpinnings and perceived justifications for these actions within the resistance movement.
The comprehensive nature of these reported operations underscores the ongoing strategic calculations and the assertive stance being taken by Iraqi resistance groups against foreign military bases in the area.
