Coalition forces in Iraq have been targeted by drone attacks on US bases, resulting in minor injuries. Iranian-backed militias in Iraq have threatened to attack US facilities in response to American support for Israel. The Kataib Hezbollah militia has threatened to launch strikes against American bases and disrupt American interests. Tashkil al-Waritheen, another Iranian-backed militia, claimed responsibility for a second drone attack. Iranian-backed groups in Iraq have formed a joint operations room to support Hamas. Analysts believe that in the short term, the Iraqi groups are unlikely to open a new front in the war, but that could change if the conflict escalates.
