"Whoever thinks that political solutions can work is delusional," the Secretary-General of al-Nujaba Movement in Iraq, Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi, said in a new statement earlier on Tuesday.

The statement began with a Quran verse: "Does not Allah suffice [to defend] His servant? They would frighten you of others than Him."

Al-Kaabi's statement then noted "We read this verse with depth and firm faith," stressing that the Resistance in Iraq is ready to face "monsters" and remains unfazed in the face of the "worthless" US threats.

He reaffirmed that the Resistance remains steadfast and that its fighters are not afraid of martyrdom, stressing "we will not stop, we will not reconcile, we will not retreat."

The Secretary-General also underscored that al-Nujaba remains an "Iraqi Islamic Resistance" referring to the series of attacks against US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which consists of multiple Resistance groups across Iraq.

Al-Kaabi noted the "American-Zionist crimes in Gaza, the killing of children and civilians, besieging them, starving them," stressing the "blatant violation of humanity."

"There are no political solutions with such an arrogant, criminal devil," al-Kaabi said, "Rather, the cure is complete eradication, so that our country can enjoy peace and be rid of conspiracies and discord."

It is worth noting that also on Wednesday, the Pentagon admitted that US occupation bases in Syria and Iraq have been targeted at least 41 times since October 17.

Islamic Resistance in Iraq targets US bases, forces in Syria, Iraq

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq confirmed it targeted US bases and forces in Syria and Iraq on multiple occasions on Wednesday, the 33rd day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The Iraqi Resistance group announced targeting the US occupation base in the Green Village in the depths of Syrian territories with drones on three separate operations. Additionally, US forces in al-Shadadi, also in the depths of Syria, came under attack.

A field source told Al Mayadeen that the US occupation base at the Conoco gas field in eastern Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria, was targeted with missile and drone attacks. Earlier, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq had announced targeting the same base with a rocket strike.

In Iraq, the Islamic Resistance mentioned that its fighters targeted the US Harir base in the northern part of the country with two drones, achieving direct hits.
