The Islamic Resistance faction in Iraqi, Saraya Awliya al-Dam (SAD), revealed a missile and drone facility and announced their full readiness to fight if the Islamic Republic of Iran is attacked by US and Zionist imperialism.
The group has pledged support for Iran in the newly released video showcasing advanced unmanned aerial systems.
Two weeks earlier, SAD revealed an underground tunnel network and several mid-sized trucks carrying missiles resembling the Houthi Badr P-1 in a separate video message. The tunnel was adorned with banners, including one bearing Quran 10:62 — “There will certainly be no fear for the close allies of Allah, nor will they grieve.”
The group — whose name translates as Guardians of Blood — earlier claimed responsibility for attacks on US convoys in 2020 and 2021, as well as a February 2021 rocket strike on US coalition forces in Erbil.
Analysts say the signal is unmistakable: even relatively small pro-Iranian groups in Iraq now operate tunnel networks and field short-range missiles — capabilities aimed less at Israel and more at deterring Washington.
