Israel's alleged second secret desert base in Iraq tied to Iran war
TL;DR Summary
The Jerusalem Post cites The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal in reporting that Israel built two secret bases in Iraq’s desert to aid its war against Iran; the second base predates the current conflict and was used in June 2025 during Operation Rising Lion. It was reportedly discovered March 3 by a Bedouin shepherd, housed Air Force special forces and logistics, and prompted Iraqi forces to be pushed back by airstrikes with no involvement from the U.S., according to sources cited by the reporting.
