However, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a loose alliance of Iran-linked armed groups, claimed to have launched three drone attacks at bases in Syria, including near the Jordanian border. This group has opposed U.S. support for Israel in the Gaza conflict and has demanded the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
The escalating conflict in the Middle East, including the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, has contributed to a tense regional atmosphere.
