The Iraqi Resistance faction Ashab al-Kahf has issued a detailed warning, claiming the United States is preparing for a ground battle with air support, using the current ceasefire to build up forces. The group alleges the US will rely on ISIS elements to conduct terrorist operations inside Iran and Iraq, and on Kurdish militias to destabilize regional security. It also provided specific intelligence on the Al-Kar cement factory in Najaf, claiming it houses collaborators, ISIS operatives, and technical equipment, including a drone jammer, and has been visited by Ukrainian and Jurf al-Nasr elements. The statement asserts the Islamic Resistance is closely monitoring enemy movements and preparing for a long-term conflict.
