♟️ Wall Street Journal reports Israel operated secret base in Iraq during Iran campaign: The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel established a clandestine forward operating base in Iraq’s western desert before its air campaign against Iran, with U.S. knowledge. The base reportedly supported Israeli special forces operations and search-and-rescue missions connected to long-range strikes against Iran.
According to the report, the operation nearly collapsed after an Iraqi shepherd noticed unusual helicopter activity in early March and Iraqi forces moved to investigate. Israeli airstrikes reportedly struck the Iraqi convoy to preserve the secrecy of the base, killing one Iraqi soldier and wounding others, including a local commander.
Military sources cited in Israeli media said the base was likely located in the Najaf desert and was intended to support emergency deployments, including possible rescue operations for downed Israeli pilots. Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar had previously referenced “extraordinary missions that can ignite the imagination” in a March letter tied to the same timeframe.
In Iraq, reports claim that after exposure of the alleged Israeli base, Iraqi authorities detected a military presence in the desert during the war and were told by the U.S. not to approach the area.
