The Islamic Resistance in Iraq – ‘Ashab al-Kahf has warned US forces against recruiting Iraqis to fight in Ukraine where the Russian military is currently counducting a special operation.
In a statement released on March 11, the pro-Iranian group detailed ongoing efforts by the US Europe Command (EUCOM) to recruit and train Iraqi citizens then send them to fight in Ukraine via Turkey, Germany and Poland.
“We have confirmed the entry of elements of NATO intelligence from Hungary, Lithuania, Italy, Germany, Britain, to Iraq on the 9th of the 3rd month [March] with the aim of recruiting young mercenaries to be used in guerrilla war in Ukraine. Their activities are taking place in the Ain al-Assad and Al-Tanf bases. From these two bases, the enemy recruit mercenaries from Syria, Libya, Turkey, Tunisia, Sudan, Egypt, Jordanian, Israeli advisors specializing in street warfare and Iraqis, in particular from Sunni-majority areas, under the pretext of taking revenge on the Russians for supporting the regime in Syria, or the claim of defending Ukraine and exploiting the feelings of naive people following the Western-led media campaign.
The elements are training on anti-armor weapons at al-Tanf base and on street warfare at Ain al-Assad base. As for the security advisors from the former Iraqi regime who were providing security services in Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan and Bahrain, they were summoned by the American intelligence to be stationed at Baghdad airport and from the airport they are being moved to Germany through Turkey and then being sent via Poland to Ukraine
Under the cover of different security companies, the American and NATO intelligence elements are holding meetings in Baghdad, in al-Mansour and Karada neighborhoods, with Iraqi and Syrian tribal sheikhs, university professors and elements of the so-called Baath Party intelligence apparatus with the aim of recruiting Iraqi youth to fight in Ukraine. We confirm that the intelligence unit of the Islamic Resistance possesses complete details, including names, symbols, pictures and documented films of foreign intelligence elements operating in Iraq and especially on this sabotage case,” the statement reads.
‘Ashab al-Kahf went on to warn EUCOM that its elements in Iraqi will be targeted with “deadly force” if they continue their attempts to recruit Iraqi citizens to fight in Ukraine.
The pro-Iranian group have already demonstrated its ability and will to attack US forces in Iraq by targeting dozens of US-led coalition supply convoys over the past year.
The information revealed by ‘Ashab al-Kahf is in lines with many recent reports. One recent report exposed a plot to recruit experienced Iraqi mercenaries with the promises of monthly salaries of up to $4,000. Another report by the Russian intelligence revealed that “terrorists” were being trained by the US in the southeastern Syrian area of al-Tanf before being sent to Ukraine.
‘Ashab al-Kahf threat indicates that Russia is closely coordinating with its allies in the Middle East, mainly with Syria, Iraq and Iran, to expose and foil the ongoing attempts to funnel mercenaries from the region to Ukraine. These attempts could lead to a dangerous escalation in both Iraq and Syria.
Final days of the crumbling americant empire…
Ancient Rome’s legions also had a large number of mercenaries in its ranks towards the end of its empire.
Though Ancient Rome had a different structured Empire. People from conquered territories could become part of the Roman system, and rise high up into echelons. Conquered Magyar/Hungarians etc became military commanders in Roman army. Their mercenaries weren’t just rented cannon fodder either, this was another way of actually bringing new and contested areas into, and under, the Roman structure.
Yes, but this could be a good thing as it now gives Russia the GO, to finally take out the Al-Tanf base and cleanse the area.

Let’s hope China will join the party soon. Of course reporter Liu Yu Guang is already doing a good job.
China in Ukraine? I highly doubt it. They’re waiting for when the hammer drops on Taiwan.
You mean the Kata’ib Hezbollah cockroaches? Didn’t they just got destroyed during the last Iraqi election? Nobody wants those pro Iranian freaks in Iraq. It’s why they just changed their name to the Islamic Resistance cockroaches.
Iraq is majority Shia, and the post-Hussein Iraq will continue reestablishing stronger links with Iran. This is one rather obvious side effect that the Neo-Con ideologues, who drove the US Iraq War 2.0, apparently failed to see coming from their regime change agenda. Which is all rather ironic, because they inadvertently aided Iran’s position in the region.
Don’t even try talking shit, you look like a clown, you have no clue about Iraq, just fuk off and suck your neo-Nazi boyfriend.
Why don’t you go and fight with neo-nazis? You suck Zion and neo-Nazis that good go fuking die with them as well bitch.
I suppose this lunatic is one of those Kata’ib cockroach lovers who didn’t like the election results. That’s why they want to overturn them by murdering their way into turning Iraq into anonther Ayatollah freak fest.
NoPe,y so nterested n causing mischief all round the globe .tt won’t delay the reckoning to come.As you reaped so shall you sow.
In your dreams,shlomo.
Russia should respond in kind by providing these militants with manpads and all sorts of lethal weaponry to be used against the fahclsts in Iraq and and Syria

Sería de gran ayuda para Rusia que la Unidad de inteligencia de la República Islámica que posee información precisa de los movimientos y su ubicación de estos reclutadores así como los Irakies reclutados sean eliminados, para ello la resistencia Islámica puede hacer uso de ataques con drones, colocación de IED en los convoyes de transporte y los asesinatos selectivos de estos grupos extranjeros.
It will be too little too late anyway. There will be nothing left of Ukrainian cities if Zelensky doesn’t start negotiating soon.
Zionist Satanic plan of Wahhabi brainwashing young boys to loose their heads for theirs dirty lucre.
Clearly the Ukrainian government has acted with the interests of the Ukrainian people in mind by putting the nation at the disposal of the US in their hybrid war againt Russia. I mean, who doesn’t dream of foreign mercenaries engaged in house-to-house fighting in their cities? What a great time to be a Ukrainian child!
Sooner or later the chinese will intervene and then there will remain only the ashes of those globalist neonazi homos. Also, in the middle-east, the shia peoples are light-years more united and stronger than the sunni multi-tribes infighting. In fact, there were dozens of sunni paramilitary tribes-like forces fighting each others which were wiped out by the well organised IRGC shia’s, and loosed almost all Syria. Only the Erdogan-Putin negociations save Idlib zone from not being captured by Assad. For that reason, Ucraine neonazi CIA proxy war is surely lost forever. But sadly, many will suffer for the sake of those satanists from american israeli own deep state.
