Recent Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s visits to Tehran and Qom indicate the necessity for consultation and bolstering the Iran-Iraq Resistance Front for an all-out mobilization of both countries against the Zionist regime’s actions and Zionist-American dirty intentions as well as bolstering and organizing the ground for preserving Hashd al-Shaabi forces in Iraq under support of all groups in in the country and it is an undoing of the spells of dirty intentions.

In recent months, there have been some currents which had tried to weaken the organized Iraqi forces who fight Takfiris especially Daesh group in the border provinces of Iraq by rumor-mongering. After such rumors which led to some assumptions on the dissolution of Hashd al-Shaabi, Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi in a 10-paragraph statement emphasized strengthening and equipping Hashd al-Shaabi forces. Consequently, Sumaria News TV channel in line with announcing the integrated decisions in Iraq reported that Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of Sadrist Movement in Iraq announced his support for Abdul-Mahdi’s statement.

According to the report, Sadr officially refuted rumors about Hashd al-Shaabi, adding that Saraya al-Salam, Sadrist militia fraction, will be the first group which would comply with Iraqi Prime Minister’s statement and decree for strengthening the resistance front and equipping and supporting Hashd al-Shaabi.

To fortify such a political and logical approach, it necessitated a visit to Tehran and meeting with Iranian officials and elaborating the need for adopting a unified decision en path to preserve and protect and expand Hashd al-Shaabi’s power in the current condition, and Sadr’s presence in Tehran and sitting beside the Supreme Leader at Imam Khomeini Hosseinie disrupted Zionist regime’s texture.

The White House, which used to conceal its role in recent attacks on Hash al-Shaabi bases in Iraq before Sadr’s visit to Qom and Tehran, has recently avowed to the destructive role of Zionist regime in recent attacks on Hashd al-Shaabi’s stronghold. Of course before this revelation, Iraqi officials had reached this definite conclusion that Zionist regime has attacked Hashd al-Shaabi’s stronghold in coordination with the U.S.

Political analysts believe that the U.S. was well aware that some Iraqi parliament members have started their action to prepare a bill for the U.S. troops withdrawal from  Iraq. So the White House officials believe that accusing Hashd al-Shaabi forces of aggressive acts by the Zionist regime and using force on the pretext of deterrent act and their support of U.S. troops stay in Iraq can accelerate the current trend for expelling U.S. forces from Iraq by Iraqi parliament members and they assess creating violence and insecurity may open the way for the U.S. troops deployment in Iraq.

Some analysts believe that the Americans know it well that Zionists’ attacks have not materialized their set goals. Actually, Zionists by direct military involvement in Iraq and attack on its soil had tried to unbalance Iran and the U.S. positions in Iraq, and to prevent Iran’s influence and penetration in Iraq. Muqtada al-Sadr’s visit to Tehran actually was like pouring water on the fire of seditions which had been planned by the U.S. through the hands of Zionist regime and it was a heavy blow to the U.S.’s plan for a long time stay in Iraq. And once again it showed the genuine Islam in form of resistance, maturation, integration and unity. And this grand revelation of unity and integration needs prostration of gratitude and makes all prostrate to God in gratitude.
