Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah backed by Iran rejects calls to lay down its arms. Secretary-General Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi says the group was founded “by order of” Iran’s Late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and that its members “have always remained loyal to his path.”

He also urged Iraq’s government and political leaders to align with the “will of the resistance,” warning against cooperating with what he called hostile agendas and saying the Iraqi people would decide the country’s future.
