Political researchers: Al-Kazimi is a thorn in the throat of Katyusha militia in Iraq

With new action, which is the first since US President Joe Biden took office, and in the uncertainty of how his administration would deal with the Iranian issue and its nuclear deal in a clear manner, and in the continuing conflict between Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi and Iranian-funded terrorist militias, Katyusha cells in Iraq have re-started, weakening security efforts and again crossing red lines, and sending messages to different directions, whether internally or externally.

In this context, Arab affairs researcher Abdullah Abu Al-Ela said that Iranian-backed terrorist militias in Iraq seek to dispense with Katyusha operations and accuse political parties of provoking the bombings to insult the so-called factions and ruin their credibility and political commitment to calm.

Abu Al-Ela also added that these militias are trying to embarrass Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi, who presents himself as an inaccessible bloc in the face of his armed terrorist plans. He also said: Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi send a warning to the militias after an armed assembly of a number of Iranian-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militias in front of the Iraqi intelligence building in Baghdad. After the arrest of two of its members accused of missile attacks on the Green Zone and the American embassy in Baghdad, the group demanded their release with an armed gathering and setting a deadline, while Al -Kazimi confronts all Iranian plans that use politicians and militias to implement them in Iraq.

In the same context, Muhammad Maher, a researcher on Iranian affairs, indicated that Tehran provided support to these militias to executed attacks with Katyusha rockets on vital areas in Iraq, such as Baghdad International Airport and the Green Zone of Baghdad where the American Embassy is situated, and adding that after 8 missiles were targeted in mid-December around the American Embassy in the heavily fortified Green Zone, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi described the operation as terrorist, and promising to punish those involved and to prosecute Katyusha cells as they are known locally.

Maher also said that the Iranian-backed terrorist militia in Iraq is currently weak and fearful, because Al-Kazimi is a stumbling block to maintain control of the situation for about two decades.

Since Al-Kazimi took office as prime minister, a conspiracy had exposed, which targeted a number of vital headquarters in Baghdad, and that some rocket launchers were arrested at the US Embassy
