### Iraqi Militias and Iran Poised to Escalate Attacks on Israel

In a notable development, the London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq plans to intensify its operations against Israeli targets. This escalation marks a significant shift in the group's strategy, which includes new and evolving military tactics.

Ali Al-Fatlawi, a key figure from a different Iraqi resistance group, indicated that the decision to step up offensives against what they refer to as the "Zionist entity" is a deliberate move to expand the conflict on multiple fronts. According to Al-Fatlawi, the nature of these operations is expected to evolve, with new military capabilities playing a crucial role in the coming actions.

Furthermore, on Saturday, a representative from the political bureau of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba informed the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar that their group is coordinating closely with Iran in orchestrating attacks against Israel. This coordination underscores the broader regional dynamics at play and the increasing involvement of various factions within the Iraqi resistance movement.

Another political official, who chose to remain unnamed, emphasized that Iran holds the capacity to retaliate against Israel from any location, highlighting the broad reach of Iran's military capabilities.

Reports from Axios last week suggested that Iran is preparing to launch strikes against Israel from Iraqi soil. This potential action could happen before the U.S. presidential elections on November 5. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has explicitly warned that the Islamic Republic is prepared to respond to any Israeli aggression, referencing Israel's retaliatory strikes conducted on October 26, which targeted 20 Iranian sites. This was in reaction to Iran's significant missile attack on Israel on October 1, where approximately 180 ballistic missiles were launched.

The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in tit-for-tat attacks, raising concerns about broader regional implications.
