Al-Nujaba vows response against Trump over Khamenei assassination

On Sunday, Akram Al-Kaabi, Secretary-General of Harakat Hezbollah Al-Nujaba, one of Iraq’s prominent armed factions, promised to retaliate against US President Donald Trump over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In a statement offering condolences over Khamenei’s death, Al-Kaabi accused him of responsibility for the escalation, warning that he “will not find calm or stability after today.”
Earlier today, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) launched 23 drone attacks targeting US military bases in Iraq and across the Middle East.

The United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran on Saturday, targeting 48 senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, his adviser Ali Shamkhani, and military figures such as the defense minister and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, through extensive missile strikes and loitering munitions.
