Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq threatens attacks on U.S. bases

Kataib Hezbollah’s operations command in Iraq issued a statement saying it will begin attacking American bases, describing the move as a response to what it called U.S. aggression.

The group did not provide specific timing or locations. U.S. officials have not yet issued a public response to the statement.

Kataib Hezbollah is an Iran-aligned militia operating in Iraq and has previously claimed responsibility for attacks on U.S. military installations in the region. The statement raises concerns about possible escalation amid already heightened tensions.

The situation remains developing, and further updates are expected from both Iraqi and U.S. authorities.
