The Islamic Resistance in Iraq faction Saraya Awliya al-Damm has issued a statement declaring its readiness to resume military operations against US forces in Iraq and the region. The group claims to have conducted over 200 past operations and is preparing for a 'long war' using new, more advanced weapons. The threat comes as the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran is set to expire, with President Trump having stated it is 'highly unlikely' to be extended. The militia also pledged to avenge the blood of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other martyrs.
