AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Hojat al-Islam Sayyid Sadr al-Din Qabanchi, the Friday Prayer Leader of Najaf, described the joint airstrike carried out by American and Saudi forces as a “new page in confrontation” given the escalating security and military tensions in the region.<\/p>\n
The Friday Prayer Leader of Najaf addressed the issue of disarmament of groups by the Iraqi government and said, “When a thief is in your house, surrendering weapons makes no sense.”<\/p>\n
Hojat al-Islam Sayyid Sadr al-Din Qabanchi, regarding the recent bombardment that targeted Hashd al-Shaabi, asked, “Are we facing a new coalition against Iraq?”<\/p>\n
He further referred to the fatwa of defensive jihad (Jihad al-Kifai) issued by Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, the supreme religious authority of Shiites in Iraq, in mid-2014 at the time of ISIS’s control over areas equivalent to two-thirds of Iraq’s territory, which led to the formation of Hashd al-Shaabi, and added, “Fifty countries united and created the terrorist ISIS group, but a five-line fatwa brought down this conspiracy.”<\/p>\n
Hojat al-Islam Qabanchi, regarding the martyrdom and wounding of more than 50 people in the American-Saudi attacks on Hashd al-Shaabi bases in a number of Iraqi provinces, said, “Once again, Iraqi blood was mixed with Iranian blood.”<\/p>\n
