Iran-backed Iraqi factions: Iran thwarted Israel’s war goals
Shafaq News/ Secretary-General of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qais al-Khazali, declared on Tuesday that Israel failed to achieve any of its objectives during the war with Iran.
Al-Khazali added that “Iran achieved victory by transferring the battle inside Israeli territory, with its missiles continuing to strike targets across the usurping entity until the final moments.”
He expressed hope that this “victory” would pave the way to ending Gaza war.
