The Islamic Resistance in Iraq demanded on Friday that the coalition forces be driven out of Iraq and invited the other groups to join them in doing so.
In a statement, the Islamic Resistance said, “Despite their mediations and pleadings before they were vanquished by their fate in 2011, the Islamic Resistance could not gain yesterday what it granted today in terms of an option for the occupying troops to depart the sacred country as a lifeline. At that moment, the occupying forces were being driven to the point of flames by the rebel mujahideen. And they reduce its pillars to debris and ruin.
The occupying enemy does not give up its cruelty and betrayal, and it only speaks the language of weapons, as evidenced by its recent targeting of the Popular Mobilization Forces’ Mujahideen in Al-Qaim, Akashat, and other areas, as well as the fact that its crimes have escalated, the Iraqi people, friends, and responsible authorities have been assured by the recent developments. He broke all the rules of engagement when he killed the great commander Abu Baqir al-Saadi in Baghdad, which makes the Islamic resistance—along with its recognized factions—more determined than ever to uphold its obligations to its people, nation, and country under all circumstances.
“We know better than others about the malice of our enemy, the areas of confronting him, and the mechanism for subjugating him, with painful strikes and widespread attacks, so that he is forced to submit and be defeated in the service of the interests of our people and the issues of our nation,” stated the Islamic Resistance. “At a time when we look to those we trust to excuse us,” the group wrote. In the name of jihad, to enlist in the resistance and be committed to helping to drive out the occupation at this moment in the history of Iraq and the surrounding area.
