Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq in Iraq, Qais Khazali

The Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl Al-Haq Movement, Qais Khazali, affirmed that the Iraqi Coordination Framework has a clear understanding of the dangers of a foreign project brewing outside Iraq against it.

In his speech, Khazali said, "The ongoing plans seek evil and doom for Iraq," describing the plans as "intelligence operations that Britain is behind."

He added, "Everyone knows the bad role the UAE is playing in the region... particularly in Iraq."

Regarding the internal situation in Iraq, Khazali said, "No-one doubts the sincerity of the intersecting political forces in Iraq, but there are those effortfully, through various means, finding ways to stir up strife between the [Iraqi] parties."

He indicated that it is necessary to coalesce the narrative between the political parties, in addition to refraining from throwing accusations between the parties, because there's no wisdom in doing so.

He said, "The Coordination Framework, even if it comes to be the largest bloc, will not proceed alone, acknowledging the foreign project, and it has two options: either full participation in the government or joining the opposition."

When it came to the recent attacks on the Green Zone, Khazali pointed out that the Resistance factions had nothing to do with the targeting the area witnessed.

Khazali affirmed his rejection of targeting "diplomatic missions and airports in Iraq," after an Iraqi security source reported that the Camp Victory Army Base at Baghdad Airport faced several missiles.

Baghdad International Airport was bombarded with 6 missiles on Friday near the runway, resulting in a plane sustaining damages. The source added that "activating the C-RAM anti-missile system stopped a number of missiles and was able to shoot them down."
