Washington's Warning: An Attack by the Islamic Republic from Iraq Will Face Military Response from Israel

The United States has warned the Iraqi government that if it does not prevent a potential attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel from Iraqi territory, it may face a retaliatory response from Israel and an attack on its own soil. Two American officials informed Axios that Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani on Sunday, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken did so on Monday regarding a potential attack by the Islamic Republic from Iraq on Israel, warning against such an action. According to these officials, Sullivan and Blinken also pressured the Iraqi Prime Minister to stop the recent escalation of attacks by Shiite militias against American forces in Iraq and Syria, as well as their attacks against Israel, and to prevent the Iranian government from launching an attack on Israel from Iraqi territory. Based on these statements, Biden administration representatives told the Iraqi Prime Minister that if Iraq does not prevent an attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel from within its borders, the United States cannot prevent an Israeli attack on Iraq. Axios also reported that the Iraqi Prime Minister and his advisers have privately and in public statements made it clear that they do not agree with Iraq being drawn into the conflict between Israel and Iran. These messages are exchanged while the U.S. is concerned about the expansion of war in the region. U.S. and Israeli intelligence indicates that the Islamic Republic is planning a serious attack against Israel from Iraqi territory in response to Israel's October 25 attack on Iran. Reports also indicate that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has recently transferred drones and ballistic missiles to Shiite militias in Iraq and is planning a joint attack against Israel. According to Axios, the U.S. government has warned the Iranian government through various means, including public and private messages, to refrain from this attack, but there are no signs of Iran's willingness to de-escalate tensions.
