Head of the al-Nujaba Political Council:

We have no fear of Trump and will not lay down our weapons

al-Asadi described negotiations over the disarmament of Islamic Resistance groups as impossible and stated that the Resistance does not fear Trump coming to power.

Shaykh Ali al-Asadi, the head of the Political Council of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement, in an interview with Iraqi’s al-Sumaria network, highlighted that the Islamic Resistance Front fought global powers during Operation al-Aqsa Storm. He emphasized, “Despite this, the Zionist regime did not achieve its goals, signifying a victory for the Resistance.” 

Shaykh al-Asadi noted, “If Israel resumes its aggression, we will also resume our operations in support of Gaza.”

Regarding developments in Syria, he commented, “Bashar al-Asad was deceived by the promises of Arab regimes and did not allow the Resistance forces to intervene.”

The senior member of al-Nujaba further revealed, “The Shrine of Lady Zaynab (s) is safe today. al-Jawlani knows that this shrine is a matter of faith. Messages from prominent Shi’ah figures have reached him, making it clear that this shrine is a red line.”

al-Asadi stressed the necessity of identifying and addressing weaknesses in the Resistance Front and stated, “So far, no one has discussed disarming the Resistance groups with us, nor does anyone have the right to do so. As long as the occupying enemy remains in our country, we cannot lay down our weapons.”

In conclusion, during this televised interview, he remarked, “Everyone is afraid of Trump, but the Islamic Resistance has no fear of him, as he cannot commit greater crimes than Biden.”
