On June 30, 2021, a Telegram channel that supports pro-Iranian Shi'ite militias in Iraq released an image of drones being prepared for launch, with the text: "And then the Trumpet was blown. This is the day of the promised chastisement" (Quran 50:20). The accompanying English-language post read: "O Americans in Iraq, the Middle East, and in Syria, watch the atmosphere of your military bases and everything that flies over your heads, because revenge is coming with countless drones. The equation of deterrence will be with planes. Your days will definitely be numbered."
