Iran-Backed Militias in Iraq Agree to Halt Missile and Drone Attacks on Israel Amid Regional Tensions and Support for Hamas
Dec 23, 2024, 07:08 AM
Iran-backed militias in Iraq have reportedly reached an agreement with the Iraqi government to cease attacks on Israel and refrain from involvement in the situation in Syria. This development comes amid a broader context of regional tensions, particularly concerning support for Hamas and the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. The agreement was highlighted by various media outlets, including the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar. Reports indicate that the militias will maintain their anti-Israel stance but will halt missile and drone attacks as they await the policy direction of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding the Middle East, especially in relation to Iran. The Iraqi government is expected to stand firm against international pressures while navigating this complex geopolitical landscape.
