Israel Urges United Nations Security Council To Put Pressure On Baghdad; Will Tel Aviv Take Direct Action Against Iraq?

On November 18, the Israeli foreign minister asked the UN Security Council to exert pressure on the government in Baghdad to stop the strikes by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror combatants, against the Israeli regime’s positions.

Sa’ar claimed: “This evening I sent a letter to the president of the UN Security Council in which I called for immediate action regarding the activity of the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, whose territory is being used to attack Israel.”

He added that Iraq “is responsible under international law to prevent the use of its territory as a base for attacks against other nations.”

Israel would take “all necessary measures to protect itself and its citizens,” the minister warned.

Simultaneously with the sending of the Israeli foreign minister’s letter to the UN Security Council, the Hebrew newspaper Maariv alleged that the Israeli regime has prepared a new plan to strike at the groups supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran in Iraq, including the assassination of leaders and attacks on their infrastructure and facilities of the resistance groups.

This Israeli newspaper claimed: This plan will be implemented if attacks from Iraq against Israel escalate. Tel Aviv has sent clear messages, and the Iraqi government is trying to de-escalate tensions.

Iraqi resistance groups have carried out hundreds of rocket and drone attacks against the Israeli regime and their supporting forces, namely the US terrorist forces (CENTCOM) in Iraq and Syria, after the onset of Operation of Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, aimed at supporting the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon and also increasing pressure on the Tel Aviv regime.

In response to the attacks of the Iraqi resistance, the axis of evil (Israel and its supporters) carried out multiple attacks against the positions and forces of the resistance in Syria and Iraq, in which several Iraqi fighters were martyred. Some of these attacks were carried out by the terrorist US army in Iraq, and others by the Israeli regime’s army in the Israeli-occupied Golan Hights of Syria against Iraqi resistance groups.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, along with other resistance groups in Lebanon and Yemen, is calling for an end to the Israeli regime’s aggression against the Gaza Strip and for international aid to be sent to the besieged area. Iraqis and other members of the resistance axis have stated that as long as the Israeli regime’s aggressions against the Gaza Strip continue, missile and drone attacks against the Tel Aviv regime will persist.

Given the ongoing actions and daily attacks of the Iraqi resistance against the Israeli regime, it is likely that the regime’s army, with the support of the terrorist US army in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, will arrange a series of military actions including simultaneous airstrikes against the positions and the assassination of commanders of the Iraqi resistance groups; therefore, it is necessary for the Iraqi resistance to carry out targeted attacks against the Israeli regime, while issuing a serious warning, to remind this regime that any action against Iraq and the commanders of the resistance will face a crushing response.
