Observers rejected threats by the
Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq militia to send armed battalions to the war in Yemen
alongside the Houthi militias, which are facing terrible defeats in Hodeidah
and elsewhere.
Observers said that the threats posed by Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq confirm that the formation of terrorist groups by Iran
was a part of an Iranian plan to form criminal gangs inside and outside Iraq to fight on behalf of the mullahs.
They stressed that the Houthi, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, Hezbollah, Badr Brigades and Nasrallah militias are all
operating under the direction of Iran.
Iranian agenda and terrorist
groups
Just as some of them were involved
in Syria within the Iranian militias, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, led by Qais al-Khazali
in Iraq, hinted at the possibility of forming volunteer teams to fight in Yemen
in defense of the Houthis.
MP Uday Awad of the Sadiqoun bloc, which represents Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, pointed to the
formation of youth teams to fight in Yemen in defense of
"civilians," he said, forgetting the Amnesty International's warning
on Thursday that the Houthi fighters occupied the roof of the main hospital in
the city of Hodeidah, using patients and medical staff as human shields.
On the other hand, politician Athil
Nujaifi warned in press statements of sending Iraqis to fight among the
Houthis, calling on the government to move to prevent sending any Iraqi citizen
there.
These statements coincided with
fierce battles in Hodeidah and Saada, where the Houthi militias suffered heavy
losses.
Culture Minister
The terrorist group has also been
struggling in another battle amid the wide rejection of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq's
candidate for the post of culture minister, Hassan al-Rubaie, nominated by
Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi in the confidence-granting session.
Rubaie is a candidate
for the armed faction affiliated with the Building Coalition led by
Hadi al-Amiri. However, the Saairun Alliance backed Muqtada al-Sadr voiced rejection against
Rubaie.
The Artists Union of Iraq condemned the nomination of Rubaie
in a letter addressed to the prime minister, saying
that it has followed angrily what happened in the voting session on the
government, adding that they we were shocked as a candidate was nominated for the Ministry of
Culture who they say does not represent them, referring to
Rubaie.
