Shafaq News/ The Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, one of the factions that form the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq”, said on Sunday that it does not know who is carrying out the targeting of the American forces stationed at the Ain al-Assad base in Anbar Governorate, and the forces stationed in the Syrian bases.
A prominent leader in the brigades told Shafaq News Agency, “The Islamic Resistance Group in Iraq, as well as the Resistance Coordination Committee, do not know which party or group is bombing and targeting the American forces, disclaiming responsibility for those operations.”
The leader, who asked not to be named, added that the “Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades” are committed to the calm so far, and perhaps there is a faction working on these operations individually as a means of pressure, but without knowledge from that party.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is seeking to pressure pro-Iranian armed factions to stop their escalation against American interests and targets in Iraq, according to informed sources.
Fearing American reactions that might escalate and confuse the security situation inside Iraq, Al-Sudani contacted Iranian figures in order to pressure those factions to stop escalating their operations, and to give him a new opportunity to end the American presence in Iraq through dialogue and negotiation, but the factions still reject these pressures, according to the sources.
