Iranian media outlets report that American military installations throughout Iraq, including the Victory base in Baghdad and facilities in Erbil, are under coordinated assault by the Islamic Resistance of Iraq.
Following yesterday's massive US and Israeli strikes on Iranian territory, Iranian media is reporting coordinated, widespread retaliatory attacks against American military installations across Iraq. According to Fars News International and Foreign Policy, an IRGC-affiliated outlet, Iraqi sources stated that all US bases in the country are currently under simultaneous attack by the Islamic Resistance of Iraq. Akharin Khabar, an Iranian state-aligned news aggregator, echoed the exact same claim.
Multiple explosions rocked the American Victory base located near Baghdad International Airport, according to Akharin Khabar. Providing further detail on the incident, Akharin Khabar cited an Iraqi security source speaking to Al Jazeera who confirmed that a logistical support camp in the vicinity of the international airport was heavily targeted.
Simultaneously, Fars News reported that the American base in Erbil, located in northern Iraq, physically shook from strikes. These assaults on US positions in Iraq follow the devastating Operation Epic Fury executed by US CENTCOM forces on Iran's Kharg Island on March 16, as well as broader Iranian retaliatory strikes previously reported against US targets in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Erbil.
The phrasing regarding simultaneous attacks on all US bases is identical across both Fars News and Akharin Khabar, indicating highly coordinated messaging among Iranian outlets. Video footage was allegedly shared by Akharin Khabar for the Baghdad explosions, though only the text captions were available for analysis.
