Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba Vows Retaliation Against US and Saudi Arabia

Akram al-Kaabi, secretary-general of the Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba militia, vowed to retaliate against the United States and Saudi Arabia following joint precision strikes conducted last month. The operations, carried out by the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces and U.S. Central Command, targeted Iran-aligned militant sites in Iraq used for weapons and logistics operations.

The strikes resulted in the deaths of members of the Popular Mobilisation Forces. Al-Kaabi rejected diplomatic solutions and financial compensation for the victims, characterizing the Saudi regime as "despicable" and accusing Riyadh of orchestrating conspiracies against the Iraqi people.

Al-Kaabi asserted that military retaliation is the only appropriate response to the attacks. He stated that missiles must be countered with missiles and dismissed the possibility of diplomacy with the Saudi government as futile.
