<p>The Secretary-General of the Iraqi al-Nujaba Resistance movement announced on Friday that the group's operations <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-nujaba--only-answer-for-us-occupation-in-iraq-is-eradicat">against US forces</a> will not stop until the Israeli war on Gaza ceases and the complete withdrawal of the "US occupation" from Iraq.</p>
<p>In a statement, Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi said that this decision is a sovereign one taken by the group alone.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, the Iraqi <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iraqi-hezbollah-suspends-operations-against-united-states">Kataib Hezbollah</a>
announced the suspension of their operations against the US occupation
forces in Syria and targets in Iraq to not go against the wishes of the
Iraqi government.</p>
<p>Both groups are part of the Popular Mobilization Forces PMF, a governmental security apparatus. </p>
<p>Kataib Hezbollah, which is at the forefront of Resistance operations
against the US presence in support of Gaza, and has offered <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-attacks-iraqi-kataib-hezbollah-facilities-in-support-of">a number of martyrs</a> in that pursuit, said that its decision was taken "without any intervention from foreign parties."</p>
<h2>Kaabi hailed Brotherhood between Iraqi Resistance facitons</h2>
<p>Commenting on the statement, al-Kaabi hailed the "brotherhood" between the two groups and the common Resistance and sacrifices.</p>
<p>Al-Kaabi noted that, after talking to the Kataib Hezbollah's leader about the reason behind their decision, the "issue has <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iraqi-hezbollah-say-operations-suspended-following-talks-wit">become clear </a>to us," adding that the future will reveal that the group's decision was "brave, wise and selfless."</p>
<p>He added that the Al-Nujaba movement upholds and appreciates the
sacrifices made by Kataib Hezbollah, expressing hope that the factors
leading to them making such a decision would be soon revoked and that
they would return to carrying out operations against the US.</p>

<p>The United States released a series of threats in the past week
following the drone attack that killed three of its soldiers allegedly
in a US base in northeast Jordan.</p>
<p>In response, the al-Nujaba chief said, "Regarding [statements] being
released by the American psychological war machine, which has been
threatening and warning, they don't intimate us nor will they prevent us
[from continuing operations]," vowing that any US attack will receive
an "appropriate response."</p>
<p>"The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, including the al-Nujaba movement and
its other factions, will continue with the decision [to pressure
Washington through operations] until our demands are met," he concluded.</p></div></div></div>
