The Iraqi Hezbollah denies its participation in the government, but appointed it to it

Abu Ali Al-Askari, a security official in the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, stated that the Iranian-backed party is not a part of the Sudanese government of Muhammad Shi’a, that he has not been appointed to any civil or security positions, and that he has no representation in the House of Representatives. He emphasised that he is watching the new government’s progress and will assign it a position based on “For its achievements.”

In a message shared on social media, Al-Askari emphasised that he maintains the same distance from everyone who has referred to it as “the righteous,” in reference to the political forces linked with Iran and its mission in Iraq.
With regard to the Sudanese government, the party declared that “engaging with it will be on the basis of the achievement.”
The Iraqi Hezbollah requested that the government address several pressing issues, particularly the “American and Turkish occupation.”

The Iraqi Hezbollah official’s statement appeared to be overtaken by anticipation, but he distanced himself from the attack, as was the case with Mustafa Al-administration, Kazemi’s which joined it in disagreements that culminated in the execution of military and security operations.

According to observers, the militias affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards will pave the ground for the expansion of Iranian power without trying to topple a fully supported administration from Tehran’s coordination structure.

The remark is also an Iranian warning to the Sudanese government that if it loses faith in it politically, in addition to facing the violence of the militias, it will also have to struggle to form a national government independent of it.

The Al-Fateh alliance, the state of law, and Asaib al-Haq are some of the political entities and populist groupings that make up the “coordination framework,” which also includes the Iraqi Hezbollah.
Iran still considers Iraq a rear park and sought to support the coordination framework to grant confidence to the Sudanese government in the face of the Sadrist movement, which has repeatedly called for the formation of a government of national unity, neither oriental nor western unity.

In the midst of disagreements between Tehran and Western powers surrounding the nuclear agreement and tightening sanctions on Tehran, the Iraqi Hezbollah was actively involved in advancing Iranian goals by launching attacks against international forces in Iraq.
Especially after its failure and the defeat of the forces loyal to Iran in the legislative elections held in 2021, the party engaged in conflict with the departing government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

Al-Kazemi requested for the removal of illicit weapons in order to lessen the influence of some unruly militias, but the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, which had recently risen militarily and were threatening to infiltrate the country, rejected his request.

In his final speech, Abu Ali Al-Askari demanded that Al-Kazemi and his group be pursued since they were “spoilers” who had ordered the executions of his founder Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis and the Revolutionary Guards’ Qassem Soleimani and the commander of the Quds Force.

We have rights that must be collected, the first of which is the blood of the martyr Abi Mahdi, his friends, and the blood of our visitor, the great leader Soleimani. The legal brothers must do double efforts to finish the legal right of Kazemi al-Ghud and his spy squad.

Despite denying its involvement in the administration, the Iraqi Hezbollah assigned it to it.
