Alleged Israeli airstrike in Iraq is ‘declaration of war’: official
|
| How embarrassing it would be when Iraq lost yet another war to Israel, after having been thoroughly drubbed by the Americans — twice — then needing American help to drive off ISIS. But this posturing would explain why the head of the PMF walked back his deputy’s claim that Israel dunnit. See here. |
[ALMASDARNEWS] An alleged Israeli Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
on an ammunition depot in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, belonging to the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), is a declaration of war against Iraq, and Baghdad should openly respond to violations of its illusory sovereignty, Iraqi politician and a PMF official, Ahmed Asadi, said on Thursday.
"Israel’s intervention into the sphere of our national interests is a declaration of war against Iraq, its people, illusory sovereignty. The silence on the aggression is not a rational position ... We must take measures at the regional and international levels to resist the destruction of our airspace and military capabilities," Asadi said in a statement.
He added that Iraq may respond to Israeli actions, since "they wanted an open war, and our national duty is to stop this war in the form of an open response."
The remarks came after a blast hit the ammo depot in Baghdad on Monday, killing one civilian and leaving dozens of others injured. Though the causes of the earth-shattering kaboom remain unknown, the incident has given rise to a number of theories, including that Israel might have been behind the airstrike.
These explosions at the facilities, which belong to Iran-backed militias, are fueling speculations that Iraq is gradually being sucked into the escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Abu Mahdi Mohandes, deputy chairman of PMF, said earlier this week, citing leaked intelligence data, that the United States had allowed four Israeli drones to operate in Iraqi airspace and target facilities belonging to Shia militias.
The United States and Israel did not provide any official comments in this regard, but the Israeli prime minister said on Monday "Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has no immunity, anywhere," adding that actions against Tehran continued wherever it was necessary.

Perhaps we'll soon be getting an eviction notice.
