The Islamic Resistance of Iraq is an umbrella term that refers to various militias operating in Iraq. The group was responsible for carrying out attacks on American forces in two different locations: the Al-Omar oil field in the Deir el-Zour province, and in al-Shaddadi, located further north.According to reports from the American media, the attack occurred just a few hours after the organization had claimed responsibility for the attempted strikes on the Al-Tanf military outpost. The Iraqi-based Shafaq News agency earlier reported that US air defenses had managed to intercept the drones. Two military bases, the Al-Asad Airbase (formerly known as Qadisiyah) in the al-Anbar Governorate of western Iraq, and the Al-Harir Airbase (formerly known as Bashur) in the Iraqi Kurdistan region, were targeted in UAV attacks last week. Al-Tanf, located on the Iraqi-Syrian and Jordanian-Syrian borders in Syria's Homs Governorate, is a military site operated by the US-led international coalition. Its primary objective is to spearhead anti-Islamic State* efforts in both countries.*Terrorist organization banned in Russia.
