The Tansiqiya (IRCC), a semi-anonymized joint #Iraq-i paramilitary front, condemned in a statement (Nov. 7) the drone attack on the house of Iraqi PM #Kadhimi.
Which resistance axis faction implicitly backed the statement? Who ignored it?
Thread 🧵
Translation (brief): "We condemn the targeting of the outgoing PM's house which we consider an act of targeting the Iraqi state that we have built with our blood and this position [the premiership] is exclusively among the most important state institutions....
...and we consider it the biggest achievement that the [Shiite] majority acquired after the fall of the dictatorship...who perpetrated this attack aimed for a false flag operation...
...especially that we have been strongly calling for conducting a investigation to get justice from who killed our martyrs..." (end)
1. It was not shared by the Tansiqiya's Telegram channel. The last statement the channel shared was on Oct. 18 asking pro-PMF protesters to refrain from violence.
The fact that Nov. 7 statement was not shared on the channel strongly indicate that not all key members concurred.
2. Who likely supported it:
There is some evidence from Telegram that this could have been supported by: Badr Org. (Baa), Harakat al-Nujaba (Nujaba TV/Qaher), and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (Ahad TV). The media platforms affiliated with those groups shared the Nov. 7 Tansiqya statement.
3. Who might have not?
Kata'ib Hezbollah is unlikely to have supported it. Why? Usually, Kaf, a KH-affiliated Telegram channel, shares Tansiqiya statements. But it did not this time. The last time it did share a Tansiqiya statement was on Oct. 18.
Sabereen News did not share.
