“The axis of resistance today is stronger than before. Resistance cells are rooted even in America and its capital,” read the claimed social media announcement, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which published a screenshot of the message.
The post, which included a casket containing American soldiers, was created by the Kawther Yoon Electronic Team, a Telegram network that is assumed to be used by Iranian militia groups and followers.

The Telegram channel post also alleged that terror factions linked to Iran are becoming ever stronger and getting more support, while it called on U.S. forces to withdraw from not only Iraq, but the Middle East altogether.
The group further seemed to threaten Israel, referring to it as the “Zionist enemy,” stating “I will summarize for you in words only the horror of the south, which is stronger than before, and we have thousands of men like Imad Mughniyeh.” Mughniyeh is thought to have been the Iran-aligned Hezbollah chief of staff in Lebanon.

“Do not think that you and the Americans, by killing Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, will survive the torment of the resistance,” the post continued, referring to the Iranian commander and the Iraqi militia leader who was killed in an airstrike last year. “We lie in wait for you evil (sic) and the next thing is worse.”
Last week, President Joe Biden cautioned that Iran cannot act with impunity and advised the state to “be careful” when questioned what message he was sending the nation with the U.S. airstrikes in Syria.
“You can’t act with impunity. Be careful,” Biden told reporters in Texas.

The United States carried out airstrikes approved by Biden against facilities belonging to Iranian-backed militia in eastern Syria on Thursday, in response to rocket strikes against U.S. targets in Iraq.
Tehran has denied being behind recent attacks, whether those in Iraq, against shipping in the Gulf, or on Saudi installations by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.

On Wednesday, rockets were again launched at an Iraqi base that holds U.S. troops, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials. The Pentagon announced that the missile defense system at the Al Asad airbase “engaged in defense of our forces” before adding: “We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the individual who died.”
