چرا آمریکا از نُجَباء کینه دارد؟

The Washington Institute Investigated:

Why does the US hate al-Nujaba?

In its latest report on developments in Iraq and the region, the American thinktank has addressed the issue of the confrontation between the United States and the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement.

According to the website of the representative office of al-Nujaba in Iran – In a report entitled “Who Are Nujaba and Why Did the US Just Strike Them?” The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) writes, “The group’s cadres are the most reckless of Iran’s terrorist proxies in Iraq and have been the proximate cause of almost all recent US strikes.” 

Referring to the assassination of Abu Taqwa, the military deputy of the al-Nujaba Movement, Michael Knights, an expert and senior analyst at the Washington thinktank, continued, “On January 4, an American strike killed at least one senior commander from Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, a US-designated terrorist organization in Iraq. The operation took place in Baghdad and came just hours after the anniversary of the January 3, 2020, US targeted killings of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. What led Washington to take this bold step, and why was [al-Nujaba] targeted?” 

Referring to al-Kaabi’s trips to Iran and Russia and his meetings with senior officials of the two countries, this report noted: “Unlike other US-designated terrorist groups in Iraq… al-Kaabi’s movement does not have a political party. [al-Nujaba] talks and acts as if it has little to lose by angering the United States and Israel…” 

The Washington Institute further explained that by supporting the Islamic Resistance in the Gaza Strip, the al-Nujaba Movement did not stop with anti-Israeli statements but took action by going all-in. Since October 27, most of the attacks on American bases in Syria and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq have been organized by this group, which has left casualties among Centcom forces. 

In conclusion, the American thinktank described the assassination of Martyr Abu Taqwa as a warning signal from Washington to the al-Nujaba Movement and claimed, “By killing an important [al-Nujaba] figure after tracking his vehicle, the United States is sending a strong signal that it is willing to go further. Indeed, no group deserves this kind of lethal targeting more urgently than al-Nujaba, at least based on its recent activity.”
