| [ALMASDARNEWS] The Secretary-General of Harakat al-Nujaba, Akram al-Kaabi, said last week that Iraq will remain part of the "axis of resistance" despite foreign-led initiatives to detach the Iraqi society from the regional developments. "Our enemies want Iraq to be an apathetic society and not react to what is happening in our region. This goes against our beliefs," al-Kaabi stated, as Press TV reported. Al-Kaabi stressed that based on Islamic beliefs, Iraq cannot be separated from the greater Moslem world and the regional "resistance axis". "Major organizations affiliated with the Zionists, the United States and the Saudis are managing a media war against the resistance and are seeking to target our youth and our moral values," he added. The Harakat al-Nujaba chief added that it was unfortunate that some of Iraq’s elites and leaders had been influenced by this foreign-backed trend. "If our positions are based on the enemy’s media objectives, this will surely deviate us," he noted. Al-Kaabi made these comments shortly after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Baghdad to discuss the ongoing situation with Iran. In addition to being one of the most powerful paramilitaries in Iraq, Harakat al-Nujaba is also a close ally to Iran. They have both fought alongside one another inside Iraq and Syria. |
