Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly established clandestine cells within Iraq with the intention of launching attacks against Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This development represents a new approach by Iran, bypassing established Iraqi militias to directly target regional rivals. The purpose of these cells is to strike nations that host U.S. military personnel, escalating regional tensions. Details regarding the size and operational capacity of these cells remain limited. This move suggests a shift in Iran’s strategy for exerting influence and potentially conducting proxy conflicts in the region. The Iraqi government has not yet officially commented on these allegations, raising questions about its awareness and potential response. This situation further complicates the already fragile security landscape in Iraq and the broader Middle East.
