The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella network of Iran-backed Shiite armed factions, on Sunday claimed responsibility for 21 operations targeting US military bases in Iraq and across the region over the past 24 hours.

In a statement, the group said its fighters used dozens of drones to strike what it described as “occupation bases,” without specifying locations or providing details on casualties or damage.

Since Feb. 28, when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, factions operating under IRI have claimed nearly 300 attacks targeting US military facilities across Iraq.
