❗️Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah vows to defend Iran, accuses Iraqi leadership of intelligence collusion with US and Israel Iraqi resistance group Kataib Hezbollah issued a sweeping statement today, combining pledges of regional military alignment, specifically promising to defend Iran, with direct allegations of corruption and intelligence collusion against Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi. The movement declared its firm refusal to disarm under any domestic or international pressure, framing its military posture as a non-negotiable moral and doctrinal obligation and warning that "the enemy will obtain no concessions from us, even if we are torn to pieces." The group explicitly affirmed its commitment to defending the Islamic Republic of Iran and preventing its isolation, describing Iran as "the nation's impenetrable shield" and declaring that it will "not allow its enemies to isolate it and confront it alone," while pledging continued support for Iraq, the Palestinian cause, and resistance forces in Yemen and Lebanon. On security matters, the group held Zaidi directly responsible for any future strikes targeting resistance positions or Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) bases, accusing state security organs under his authority of gathering intelligence for US forces, stating that elements were deployed "to gather intelligence and share it with the American enemy, which in turn shares that intelligence with the Zionist entity to carry out strikes inside Iraq." Kataib Hezbollah also condemned Baghdad's compliance with US-directed sanctions against Iran, urging leaders of the ruling Coordination Framework to order an immediate end to the blockade.
