Sudani rejects attacks on Hashd al-Shaabi as violation of Iraq’s sovereignty

Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has condemned recent attacks targeting Hashd al-Shaabi resistance group and security forces, describing them as a violation of the country’s national sovereignty.

In a statement on Sunday, Sudani warned that ongoing hostilities in the region would lead to “chaos, emergence of extremism, and negative impacts on supply chains.”

Iraqi media outlets reported on Saturday evening that Hashd al-Shaabi’s facilities had come under a joint attack by the Israeli regime and the United States across Iraq.

The Shia community’s media office also condemned the attacks, saying that “such treasonous attacks violate Iraq’s sovereignty and threaten its national stability.”

Since the US and Israel launched a joint aggression against Iran on February 28, resistance groups in Iraq have been attacking US assets across the region.

Iranian armed forces have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on US military assets in regional countries and on targets in the Israeli-occupied territories.
