The Islamic Front for the Iraqi Resistance (Template:Lang-ar, JAMI) or the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (Template:Lang-ar) was a Sunni Islamist insurgent group in Iraq, formerly fighting the U.S.-led Coalition as a part of the Iraqi Insurgency.[1][2] The group announced itself around May 2004. The nationalist group has affirmed several times that it only focuses on fighting U.S. forces, not Iraqis. It is believed[by whom?] that JAMI has affiliations with the Republican Guard and that some of the JAMI members might be ex-members of the Iraqi Republican Guard. JAMI's field of operations stretches from Baghdad to Anbar Governorate, Saladin Governorate and Diyala Governorate.
The group is believed[by whom?] to be of an ikhwan background, similar to the Islamic Resistance Movement.
