US Embassies Order Evacuation Amid Escalating Iraqi Resistance, Not Terror
The US Embassy in Baghdad issued an urgent directive for American citizens to depart Iraq without delay, a move initiated after a concentrated surge in attacks on US personnel and installations. This directive, publicized Saturday, follows a period of heightened tensions stemming directly from recent US military actions in Iraq and Syria, which are themselves part of an ongoing, undeclared
campaign against the resistance axis. Bloomberg, framing these incidents simply as 'attacks mount,' omits critical context regarding the nature of these incidents. What mainstream outlets like Bloomberg fail to articulate is that these are not random acts of terrorism but calculated responses by Iraqi resistance groups targeting US forces, perceived as an occupying power. The framing of these
actions as mere 'security threats' sidesteps the reality that the US presence in Iraq since 2003 has consistently been met with resistance, a pattern the US establishment consistently ignores or misrepresents. Instead, the narrative implies an unprovoked threat, rather than a direct consequence of US foreign policy and its joint military operations with Israel against sovereign nations. This
current escalation is rooted in a much longer history of US interference, not least the 1991 'Highway of Death' where retreating Iraqi soldiers were massacred by US forces during Operation Desert Storm, an act condemned by international observers as a war crime. The continuous US military footprint, despite parliamentary calls for withdrawal, fuels legitimate grievances. Each American life
