On Sunday, Akram Al-Kaabi, Secretary-General of Harakat Hezbollah Al-Nujaba, one of Iraq’s prominent armed factions, promised to retaliate against US President Donald Trump over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
In a statement offering condolences over Khamenei’s death, Al-Kaabi accused him of responsibility for the escalation, warning that he “will not find calm or stability after today.”
