American and allied forces in Iraq and Syria have faced a series of drone and missile attacks this month, with Washington attributing the attacks to Iran. The increase in attacks is linked to the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, with armed factions aligned with Iran threatening to target US interests over American support for Israel. The attacks have been claimed by the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq," though it is not an established militant group and has not publicly claimed affiliation with a specific government. While the impact of the attacks has been limited so far, the potential for escalation is high.
