US military buildup in Iraq via Israel and Jordan ready for clash with pro-Iranian Iraqi militias
DEBKAfile Exclusive: US troop reinforcements were flown to Iraq on Wednesday, March 6 ready for an offensive by Iraq’s two largest pro-Iranian militias against US forces in northern Iraq and Syria. The additional troops were consigned from US bases in Jordan and Israel. The next day, when those militias called for “resistance to US presence in the region,” American forces in the Gulf region and southern Europe, particularly in Romania and Bulgaria, were also placed on high readiness.
Our sources name those militias as Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl al-Haq aka the Khazali Network – both linked to Hizballah, Iran’s Lebanese surrogate.
The US command in the region estimates that American forces in eastern and southern Syria as well as the US bases near the Syrian border are at risk, since both these militias have been deployed by their commander, Al Qods chief Gen. Qassem Solemani, to positions in Syria. They have also planted covert cells in Gulf emirates.
The call for “resistance” came the day after Washington designated as a terrorist organization – and imposed sanctions on – a third pro-Iranian Iraqi militia called Nujaba. This group provides the Iranian military in Syria with a special operations unit. It is armed with Iranian surface missiles and Russian-made T-72 tanks handed over by the Syrian army. Nujaba’s primary mission is to capture the Golan from Israeli rule.
Thursday saw American forces in Iraq facing a further hazard. Nessar al-Rab’ee, head of the political wing of the military wing of Iraq’s powerful Sadrist movement, called on parliament in Baghdad for legislation ordering all foreign forces to leave the country. Since American troops make up the bulk of the foreign presence, this law initiative was seen as directed against them. This was an unexpected setback. Muqtada Sadr, who heads this movement, has long opposed Iranian influence in Baghdad. That he was willing for his armed wing, the Mahdi Army, to join forces with the pro-Iranian militias against the United States further stoked the forebodings of US commanders in the Middle East and the Trump administration in Washington.
Our sources report that on Friday, March 8, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo voiced US concerns in a phone call to Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi. That evening, Abdul-Mahdi issued the following notice: “The US cannot legally establish new bases in Iraq and its current military presence is to be limited only to combating Daesh and training Iraqi troops.” It is noted that the Iraqi prime minister can’t do much against the pro-Iranian militias since they outgun and outnumber the national army.
Baghdad’s notice was taken as a refusal to allow the US to go through with its plan to establish new military facilities to accommodate the troops whom President Donald Trump has ordered to be withdrawn from Syria. Those facilities are already under construction in the north near the oil city of Kirkuk opposite the US air base in the western Anbar province.
Here we go again…the yanks walk into other people’s countries without an exit strategy, mess up (eg: disband all of the Iraqi army giving rise to ISIS) and then get bogged down for years to come….Afghanistan 17 years so far?…lots of money no brains.
Plus, they travel by helicopter, when riding on dromedary is so much more economical and ecological, right?
I hope you know what I am talking about, there is a spiritual enlightenment when you go part of a caravan.
The lesson here is that Islamic allies are not to be trusted. They will always side with the most vicious and well-armed terrorists to gain the advantage.
After trillions spent in Iraq, Sadr becomes an Iranian pawn against the West. They want America to do their dirty work and give them infrastructure and money but offer nothing in return.
America should take their oil to repay for years of aid and training. Yes, the US should not have saved Kuwait but then the Gulf states would probably be gone today if Gulf 1 had not happened. So the Gulf states should now send their troops and equipment to do battle with Iran and Iraq. The US should concentrate on getting repaid and giving leadership to the Arab alliance against the Iranian Axis.
Nobody have asked them to start their illegal war in Iraq. They should pay for the damages they have caused in Iraq. If they want to find WMD they need to go to Israel . They have them all. They should leaver Iraq, they are not wanted there.
Actually, there was nothing illegal about a war that liberated Kuwait even though it was does not exactly matter because they are all totalitarian Islamists. Saddam was on his way to nukes but Israel prevented him by bombing the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak 37 years ago.
Saddam also had WMD and those weapons were transferred to Syria and Iran got a good part of his military equipment for safe storage. Syria used and is using those WMD on its people just as Iraq used them on its Kurdish population in Halabja.
People who hate Israel; will say and do anything in these forums to paint Israel as evil and to avoid calling out its enemies who really are evil.
I support Israel, you support terrorists and Islamic totalitarian states. Try going there to live with them, a-hole, and see how you make out.
“Nobody have asked them to start their illegal war in Iraq. They should pay for the damages they have caused in Iraq. If they want to find WMD they need to go to Israel . They have them all. They should leaver Iraq, they are not wanted there.”
@Taz,
BULL FEATHERS!
Could you do us just one favor: walk over to your living room window and look outside and tell us just one thing……………………………is it a nice day in Tehran today?
I am so sorry for you,your brain works like flies brain.better some one hit you on the head.
The only exit strategy the US has ever had was to win; everything else falls in place after the enemy is defeated. Obama made it easy for ISIS by pulling the US out of Iraq and the Iraqi Army wasn’t even an Army after many years of purges by Saddam. If we were not there Israel would have already nuked Iran.. We are there to prevent a larger conflict from erupting. We are there to counter the Iranian presents; we are there because we get to use our the conflict to test our new weapons and they work as advertised.
ISIS worked well for a poison container and to demonstrate the culling power of the terroristic holocaust city bombers. Not fooled.
actually, the americans have the money, brains, and weapons. It would behoove the region and its people to follow the US example.
But instead, they choose religious warfare, corruption and pursuit of power, at the expense of those governed.
they have the jewish gold, the jewish international network and they have hoovered up all the professionals and divided up the land for gain.
he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:36-39)
allaha şükür hiç bir islam ülkesi sahipsiz değildir la galibe illallah allahtan başka galip yoktur siz kendinizi dünyanın kabadayısı mı görüyorsunuz abd avrupa rusyanın güdümünde olan korkak bir tavuk ülkesiniz siz hitler almanyasının yahudileri katletmesinden kaçan korkaklarsınız sizin soydaşlarınızı öldüren almanyanın yaptıklarını ne tez unuttunuzda islam ülklerine bölgede düşman oldunuz hangi hakla filistinlilerin toprağını zapedip onlara zulüm işkence yapıyorsunuz
The US should leave them to it. They’ll kill each other anyway
They weren’t before you showed up.
It’s always “legal” to push back/fight/destroy Persia, which is the throne of Satan.
The United States of America and Israel bring the light of God to the world.
Israel Motto “Nothing is as cheap as an American soldier “. In America we call it the Pentagon. The Jews call it the Star of David, where Jews get Americans to die for Israel.
Please stop! Your ignorance is showing.
The TRUTH hurts??????
Ditto!!!!
Cyrus brought about the conditions for the triumphant entry of messiah y’shu’a sar ha panim into Yerushalayim (dual fulfillment) had not the Roman power enfolded Yerushalayim would Y’shua’a have even survived his ministry?>some seat of ha’satan.
as there is no palm tree that is in Babylonia to which a horse of the Persians will not be tethered and there is no coffin buried in Eretz Yisrael from which a Median horse will not eat straw.
dünyanın en şeytani ülkesi zulümle dünyaya hakimet sağlamanız sizin ve tüm israilin sonu olacaktır allahın izniyle tıpkı ad semud kavimi gibi bunları unutmayın katil netanyahu ya tepki göstereceğinize onların saçma insan eliyle yazılmı saçma dini bilgilerinden her ülkeyi işgal etmeye her ülkeye abd rusya avrupa ülkelrinin güdümünde her ülkeye bela olan sizlersiniz siz den büyük 20 bin alemin sahibi allah vardır

@MR_JeSuS,
Sounds like what radical Islamists have been doing for a long time now.
Sorry, the jew, Haber invented the weaponised gas super weapon, and the jew Einstein Teller and co proposed the holocaust super weapon. Next year in YeruShalayim, neh?
islamı dünyaya terörist gibi gösteren sizsiniz çünkü siz ışıd daeş teörö örgütlerinin kılığına girerek hem müslüman ları öldürüyorsunuz böylelikle müslümanları dünyaya kötü ve ya terörist göstermeye çalışıyorsunuz hem de israilin sınırlarını genişletmeye çalışan yerinizde rahat durmayan sizsiniz tabi gerçekleri en iyi bilensiniz ama şeytanın askeri olduğunuz için şeytana ve deccala hizmet eriyorsunuz siz hertürlü ağır silahlara sahip olacaksınız ama müslüman ülke sahip oldumu bunu sözde sizi tehdit ediyormuş gibi bütün dikkatleri o ülkenin üzerine çekmeye çalışıyorsunuz ben sizin yaptırklarınızın hepsinin farkındayım ama zulüm ebedi değildir allah büyüktür zira o 7 göğü direksiz üst üste çakan direksiz tutan allahtır tektir
So much for winding down America’s wars in MENA and Central Asia. The long-discussed soft coup against Trump is an accomplished fact. He is now a mere figurehead, kept in office but powerless for the sake of appearances.
Every single proposal made by Trump has been nullified by the Deep State/Cabal. Even his agreement with Kim.
Dems are Making America Hate Again (MAHA).
“Dems are Making America Hate Again (MAHA).”
All thanks, in part, to Nancy Pelosi’s very poor judgement in her choice for filling a position on the Congressional Foreign Affairs Committe…………………….great job, Nancy!
You throw in the towel far to early. DJT has an army of people with him, including the military leadership. He has his people in Congress, and at the heads of cabinet departments.
#MAGA is just beginning.
no problem US SHOULD GIVE THE POWER TO KURD AND AND THE SUNNY ARABS AND LET THE SHIITE REVIVE THE SAME LIFE WHERE UNDER SADDAM CONTROL. BUT BEFORE DOING THAT US NEEDS TO CRUSH ALL THE PROIRAN MILITIAS AND KILLED THIS TIME MOKTAD SADR THE BIG ERROR OF BUSH ADMNISTRATION TOA HAVE LET MOKTADAR SADR TO SURVIE

‘Anti-Kahanism is not Anti-Semiticism’ and the Reprogramming of HALAIPAC
– for Peter Beinart
Now repeat after me, ‘PETE’: – ‘Row, Row Row your boat, ‘Anti-Kahanism is just Anti-H_____ism’, because Kahanism is just H_____ism with a Jewish twist, H____ism as practiced by it’s Jewish enthusiasts.
Hey! Just leave HAL disconnected – don’t waste your time trying to deprogram the bugs, there’s way too many of them and they’re deliberate anyway. Bad code from Bad programmers
Just fly
“‘Anti-Kahanism is not Anti-Semiticism’ and the Reprogramming of HALAIPAC”
@’Row, Row Row your boat, ‘Anti-Kahanism is just Anti-H_____ism’
Sounds like you’ve been rowing too long and it’s affected (or more likely totally eliminated) your better judgement!
US went not extra, but two extra miles to kep Iraq intact, and stepped on Kurds, to satisfy interests of the Shia Arab clique ruling the country, and got what they deserved in return. Hadn’t it been Lord Cromer, the one who twisted hands of Osman Turkey and moved border between Eretz Israel and Egypt from Wadi El Arish to where it is now, said that:”You can’t buy Arab, you only can lease him” What yanks can be blamed for, that they are illiterate idiots with minimum knowledge of the region, but with over-blown self-esteem and think that they know everything much better than everybody else, that’s why they constantly get from one blunder to another.
Yes, Americans need to do their homework. They should support real allies (Israel, Kurds, and some minorities) and not bother with making alliances and bribing those who can only be “rented.”
I know they will crack them up… Can’t mess with Trump.
Americans need to supplement their troops more quickly.Every American base must be able to lead a war itself.I think this is the key to winning.
he hehe US YOU NEED TO BREAK APART THE IRAQ HELP TO CREAT THE KURDISTAN AS AN INDEPENDANT COUNTRY. YOU NEED TO BEAK UP APART IRAN ALSO IN THREE OR FOUR COUNTRIES AS YOU BROKE THE SOVIET UNION. REPEAT THE SAME PROCES WITH THOSE TWO COUNTRIES
sen daha o hayalleri çok beklersin siyonist müslüman düşmanları ırkçı vahşi insanlık nasibini almayansınız siz tüm dünyanın topraklarına göz diken kendiniz dışında hiçbir ülkeyi bağımsız kabul etmeyen evanjelistlersiz siz ne insan hakkı bilirsiniz ne de saygı hoşgörü sevgi bilirsiniz siz dünyaya kaos hertürlü ölüm yayan
ne dü belirsiz yaratıklarsınız
Yeah and the Brit’s have such a sterling record everywhere. Ha ha ha! Your blunders cost you a worldwide empire.
brits are jewish puppets…
Can one tell me why Debka gives such a detailed information about US military buildup in Iraq and no other news outlets write anything?
If it will be confirmed later I’ll rate a Debka 10+ on the scale of 10.
I think the rest of the world is interested in celebrity scandals and cabaret.
“I think the rest of the world is interested in celebrity scandals and cabaret.”
@Darwin,
Those who fell into that category in the USA are the ones who put Obama into the White House instead of McCaine who was far more qualified and was a true American hero!
In conclusion: Free to bomb the shyt out of all Iranian and Iranian’s ally in Middle East.
(Hezbollah, and Hamas too. PLO only if lucky to find a good justif.)
Make Kurdistan great again

Bonjour motherfocker Muslim pigrat
they worship a god of fortresses
‘… in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses— a god his fathers did not know— with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches. He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing land for a price.…’
Permalink,
Iraq did not have any WMD nuclear bombs. Israel has them and if you believe it you must be really stupid. Just google it.
Iraq did not have any WMD ?
You crazy?
Iraq has Islam, worst WMD ever!

Here we go again, another failed foray and mess sure to follow I would have to say under the current direction of US foreign policy Pompeo and Bolton is probably the worst we have seen in a long time the way this is going Israel will be the only friend the USA will have their stock is dropping!
Iran solidly defeated the US in the Iraq war and now has a Shiite government. What is the US still doing there? You have been defeated. Go home loser!
JudaeoChristian values vs hate. No need to go on. Israel and Mossad have saved more Yank soldiers than they have endangered. Truth hurts.
