A senior official in Iran-backed militias in Iraq told Al-Mahwar News that the militias have not attacked in recent months due to 'American betrayal' but are prepared for a new round of operations targeting enemy bases in the region. The statement signals readiness to resume attacks against US or Israeli assets, according to the Iraqi outlet.
A senior official in Iran-backed militias in Iraq told the Iraqi news network Al-Mahwar News that the militias have refrained from attacking in recent months because they are aware of 'American betrayal,' but are now prepared for a new round of operations. The official said the militias would support the Islamic Republic, 'our religion and our faith,' by attacking enemy bases in the region.
The statement comes as the US and Iran continue diplomatic efforts toward a nuclear agreement, amid reports of mutual distrust. As The Zioneer has reported, Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that they do not trust the United States and that their 'finger remains on the trigger.' The Iraqi militias, which are closely aligned with Tehran, have previously launched attacks against US and Israeli assets in the region.
The claim is based on a single report from Al-Mahwar News; no further details on the intended targets or timeline were provided.
