Al-Sadr for “Breaking Beasts”: I am not the one who threatens death

Baghdad – The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, stressed Friday his adherence to the government of the national majority, saying that he will not return Iraq to the corrupt and will not sell it to those behind the borders.
Al-Sadr said in a tweet, “I am not the one who threatens death.. and what frightens those who imitate (following his path) the Prophet of Muslims, Muhammad.” He added, “Once again, the voices of the slaying monsters (without naming them) are rising, which are only aware of the threat.”
And he added, “Once again they threaten allies and partners in the government of the national majority, which is neither Eastern (referring to Iran) nor Western (referring to the United States).”
He continued, “Enough with the threat and threat. We will not return the country to the corrupt, and we will not sell the country to those behind the borders. Most of the people are with the government of the national majority, and we will not stand idly by, and we will not allow terrorism and corruption to control us.”
Al-Sadr, whose list topped the last parliamentary elections (with 73 seats out of 329), entered a tripartite alliance to form the next government, after negotiations with the coordination framework failed.
The fledgling alliance consists of the “Shi’ite bloc” led by al-Sadr, the “Sovereignty” coalition, which is the second largest parliamentary bloc and the largest coalition of Sunni forces (71 seats), and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the fourth largest parliamentary bloc with 31 seats.
Al-Sadr had made an offer to the Al-Fateh coalition, which is part of the coordination framework, to participate in the government of the national majority, provided that the State of Law coalition was excluded, but the coalition, which includes militias loyal to Iran, rejected the offer and insisted on the participation of all representatives of the framework.
The Iraqi street fears that the forces of the coordination framework will escalate the security situation in an effort to confuse the cards, especially since al-Sadr’s statements indicate that the forces allied with him are exposed to serious threats.
The political offices of the Sunni and Kurdish forces and parties allied with al-Sadr were attacked by unknown persons with explosive devices in Baghdad, Anbar (west) and Kirkuk (north) a few weeks ago.
