Intelligence sources report that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has established covert cells within Iraq with the intention of launching attacks against neighboring Gulf states. This development presents a significant challenge to Iraq’s newly appointed Prime Minister, who is attempting to navigate a delicate balance in relations between the United States and Iran. The creation of these cells may have been motivated by the willingness of other Iran-aligned groups in Iraq to disarm. The move raises concerns about regional stability and potential escalation of tensions. Details regarding the size and capabilities of these cells remain limited. This clandestine operation underscores Iran’s continued efforts to project influence throughout the Middle East via proxy forces. The Times of Israel first reported on this intelligence assessment.
