Iran Regime Militias Pose Serious Threat to Iraq and Security of Middle East

The mullahs' regimein Iran main cause of instability in the Middle East, world

The Iranian regime’s affiliated militias in Iraq known as Hashed al-Shaebi are a serious threat to the existence of Iraq and the security of the Middle East. These sectarian militants are committing all sorts of crimes to advance the policy of Iran’s regime.

A recent report by Aljazeera TV:

The emergence of Hashed al-Shaebi militias and their foreign communication is the cause of concerns. The dossier of violations and crimes committed by this group against (people and) the opposition in areas taken back from Daesh (ISIS) is among the reasons that exacerbate these concerns. Displaced and runaway Sunni refugees who have taken refuge in these areas are charged with collaboration with Daesh.

International human rights organizations have repeatedly exposed sectarian actions of Hashed al-Shaebi group, and Saudi Arabia has repeatedly condemned these sectarian militants.

Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi Arabia’s minister of foreign affairs, has described this group as a sectarian organization led and commanded by the Iranian regime’s (IRGC) officers and said Qassem Soleimani, commander of the terrorist Qods Force, is the head of these commanders.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, in a joint press conference in Riyadh with his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh, said Hashed al-Shaebi sectarian militias threaten Iraq’s unity and the security of Middle East.

Iraqi analyst Yahya al-Kubaisi: “Adoption of the legislation by Iraq’s parliament to recognize Hashed al-Shaebi does not mean this group is legitimate. This legislation is against Article 9B of the Iraqi constitution that prohibits formation of any militias outside the control of the armed forces.

“Hashed al-Shaebi militias are a military force parallel to the Iraqi Army, not part of it, which is against Iraq’s constitution and thus they have no legitimacy even if the legislation is adopted by the parliament.

“The militias were established in mid-2012 and participated in the wars in Syria since mid-2013. These militias are the first threat to the Iraqi government.

“I have repeatedly said that 90% of these militias are subordinate of Velayat-e Faqih (absolute rule of the clergy) and they take their orders directly from (Ali) Khamenei. These militias have a sectarian infrastructure, and they are a threat for the government of Iraq even before they create any threat for the neighbors.”
