The U.S. drone strike seems to have backfired in its original aim: stopping militia attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq
to detect and neutralize drones, as the air defense systems installed last year to protect against rockets and missiles have proven largely ineffective since drones don’t follow the same flight path.
According to one Iraqi security official, the U.S. suspended air support because it was frustrated with Iraq’s lack of response to the militia attacks. “They [the Americans] didn’t see any reaction by the Iraqi government to protect the bases against drone attacks,” the official said, adding that vital reconnaissance and emergency air support needed to fight ISIS sleeper cells had completely ceased in his area of operation.
Reached for comment, Patrick Evans of the U.S. National Security Council rejected the criticism, pointing to the Iraqi prime minister'sAnother unintended consequence “All the departments of the PMF are under the control of the resistance and Khamenei,” said Ali al-Hamdani, commander of the Ali al-Akbar brigade, referring to the ideological doctrine under which Iran’s supreme leader holds final say over religious and political matters. Ali al-Akbar is one of four so-called “shrine factions” that follow Ali al-Sistani, the highest Shiite authority in Iraq.
This clash of ideologies has prompted the “shrine factions” to demand that Iraq’s prime minister issue a decree permitting them to secede from the PMF unless the “resistance” militias agree to halt attacks against Americans, respect the rule of law and refrain from participating in elections through their political wings.
