The Islamic Resistance of Iraq (IRI) is an umbrella term used to describe all Iran-backed forces in Iraq.
The group said that its operations on the U.S. interests, including the U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria, are to quot;expel the American occupationquot; and to support quot;Palestinian brothers.quot;
The Iraqi government stressed the country#39;s rejection of any attack on its territory, pledging to protect the diplomatic missions and the Global Coalition forces. — Iraq News
