Iraq’s Kata'ib Hezbollah: Resistance groups ready to support Iran if war erupts

Fighters from the Iraqi Kata’ib Hezbollah resistance group are seen during a military parade in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

The Iraqi Kata'ib Hezbollah resistance movement says resistance groups would participate "immediately and decisively" in any war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Abu Mujahid al-Assaf, the security chief for the group, made the remarks on Tuesday, stressing that the group's position is based on ideological commitment.

"If war breaks out against Iran, the participation of the resistance groups will be immediate and decisive," Assaf said. "This decision is based on belief, and there is no room for bargaining."

Assaf‘s remarks come as the United States has resumed unwarranted acts of aggression against southern Iran.

The sustained US attacks on Iranian civilian and military infrastructure across southern Iran prompted Tehran to mount a swift and forceful response, targeting American military bases and strategic assets across several Arab states, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Oman.

The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when Donald Trump, the US president, announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest bout of US-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.

The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding in June, the first clause of which clearly mandates cessation of aggression on all fronts.

The United States has also been trying to help vessels evade the maritime route designated by the Islamic Republic for safe and legal passage through the Strait of Hormuz by seeking to escort trespassing vessels through an illegal passageway.
