Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq Deny Resuming Attacks on U.S. Military Targets

The "Hezbollah Brigades" in Iraq denied today that they had issued a statement regarding the resumption of attacks on American bases in the region. This denial came just hours after another statement surfaced, allegedly from groups associated with the organization, announcing the resumption of attacks following a three-month suspension. The initial statement had circulated on the Telegram application on Monday morning, claiming that the brigades had given Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia' al-Sudani a three-month deadline to negotiate with the U.S. military for a specific timeline for their withdrawal from the country, and that they would resume operations after al-Sudani's visit to Washington if no serious results were achieved. The Hezbollah Brigades confirmed in a subsequent statement that "no statement has been issued by the Islamic Resistance Hezbollah Brigades in the past forty-eight hours, and what is being circulated by news media is fabricated."
