Escalation demands — own-voice calls for attack, retaliation or expulsion

msgs/day · daily · compiled · Iraq Monitor militia desk

Calls in an Iraqi militia actor’s own voice for someone else to act — retaliate, expel an ambassador, close an embassy, cut ties. A demand is not a threat: nobody says they will do it themselves. Counted separately for that reason, Counted on their own axis and included in the tempo multiple alongside threats; attack claims are not.
