Strong statement of the Iraqi Hezbollah against Al-Jolani.
According to Russia Today, Jaafar al-Husseini, the spokesman for Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq, reacted to the stance of Abu Muhammad al-Julani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, regarding Iraq in a strongly worded statement.
He added: “Julani should ask his instigators that if Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq decides to enter the battle, it will come against him and the Zionist monkeys who are happy about the current developments, or against the capitals that support its crimes. Kataib Hezbollah has kept its promise before. Our strong reaction includes the supporters before the henchmen.
He added: “We are aware that these instigators have reached an agreement with the Zionist regime against the Syrian people and the axis of resistance. Do you give Iraqis security, and there is no security for the oppressed of the Islamic nation.”
Al-Husseini concluded: “O you who live in the dream of a government of oppression and injustice, know that the visionaries and the fighters know what Syria means for the present and future of Iraq and the nation.”
It is worth mentioning that Abu Muhammad al-Julani, the leader of the Nusra Front, claimed in a message to the Iraqi people and government last night that Iraq should not interfere in Syrian affairs.
After listening to the words of “Muhammad al-Shi’a al-Sudani” about the developments in Syria, who emphasized that “Baghdad, considering the unusual situation and conditions in the region, will not be a spectator to these developments,” Abu Muhammad al-Julani said: Regarding the concerns and illusions of some Iraqi politicians about the spread of the developments in Syria to Iraq, I firmly declare that this is 100 percent wrong, and just as Iraq and Muhammad al-Shi’a al-Sudani were able to remain neutral in the war between Iran and the region, we will cooperate with him to keep Iraq away from entering a new war affected by the developments in Syria.
He also claimed: “The Syrian people’s revolution does not interfere in Iraqi affairs, but on the contrary, it wants strategic economic and political relations and strengthening social relations between Iraq and Syria after the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad government.” Therefore, we hope that Iraqi politicians, led by Sudanese, will prevent the deployment of Popular Mobilization Forces to Syria and their intervention to defend the government of Bashar al-Assad.
