Iran lost important allies in Iraq: we are afraid of Trump!
In the midst of a large crisis that shakes the Middle East and the moment when the world is eagerly awaiting the official response of Iran at the US proposal on a new nuclear agreement, Iraqi militia loyal to Tehran decided to lay a weapon and will not resist the potential American attack, writes Reuters.
Ten military officials of Iraqi militia confirmed this news. The laying of weapons is the result of Trump’s message to the Iraqi authorities from January this year, in which he requested a deeskalary of tension between Baghdad and Washington.
Trump told the Iraqi authorities that if they did not remove the Shiite militia in Iraq that they would shoot them now. The Shiite politician and the Izat al-Shahbndar told Reuters that the negotiations were between Prime Minister Iraq Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and several local commanders of the Shiite militia in the distant phase.
« The militia are completely aware of the potential American attack, » Al -Shahbndar said. Six commanders who admitted that they would not go to war with the US because of Iran belong to militia: Kataib Hezbollah, Nujabaa, Kataib Sayyed al-Shuhad and Ansarullah al-Awafiya.
« We know that Trump wants a fierce war with us and we want to avoid it, » said Commander Jataib Hezbollah, the strongest Shiite group in Iraq. They discovered that Sepah (Iranian Revolutionary Guard) gave them a ‘blessing’ and let them make their own decisions concerning potential conflict with the United States.
The list listed are part of Iranian mediators in Iraq, which consists of about ten Shiite militia, which together have about 50,000 fighters. In their arsenal, they have long range rockets and PZO systems.
The Shiite militia has performed dozens of attacks by missiles and drones on American and Israeli base in Iraq and Syria during the Gaza war, which has been around since 2023.
Immediately after Trump, some groups left their base in Iranian bases in Mosul and Anbar for fear of American attacks.
This ‘laying weapon’ of the Shiite militia in Iraq is another eccular evidence of the decay of Iranian influence in the Middle East. Tehran has been conducted for years with an asymmetrical warfare, which included the formation and armament of dozens of armed groups across the Middle East.
But lately the Iranian axle has gained one blow after another. Israel seriously weakened Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Americans are increasingly shooting hute in Yemen that Iran left Last week, and now the news has come that the Iranian Shiite militia will not be involved in the defense of Iran against the American and Israeli attack.
