Kataib Hezbollah Warns U.S.: Stay Out or Face Direct Attacks

Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Iraqi militia, issued a warning to the United States amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The group stated that if the U.S. intervenes militarily, it will strike American interests and bases throughout the Middle East “without hesitation.” The threat raises the risk of a broader regional war involving U.S. forces. American troops are stationed across Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and the Gulf. Washington has not yet responded to the statement.
