Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadr faction in Iraq, this afternoon (Thursday) reacted to yesterday's drone attack on an UAE strategic facility.
An unnamed group called Al-Wawa Al-Waad Al-Haq said in a statement last night that it had targeted "several vital facilities" in the UAE with four drones in support of Yemen. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, said today in a message that the group is an Iraqi group.
The leader of the Sadr faction said in a statement in response to the attack:
Following the escalating violence in Iraq against the interests of the nation and the political factions by some armed terrorist groups, some law-breaking terrorists attacked one of the Gulf states under the pretext of (normalizing relations) or under the pretext of the Yemeni war or any Something like this rushed to bring Iraq into war in dangerous regions.
Muqtada al-Sadr added:
"In any case, I strongly reject the involvement of Iraq in such wars, and my voice goes out to those who want to stop the war against Yemen and to normalize relations with the Zionist enemy." Sadr continued: "But this is not possible through violence and killing! Rather, it should be done through dialogue and understanding with the countries of the region, and not by endangering the sanctities of Iraq and its people, because Iraq needs peace, prestige and disobedience to the orders of foreigners.
The leader of the Sadr faction also stated:
It is important that Iraq is not the starting point for any aggression against neighboring countries and the region. The government must deal seriously and decisively with the perpetrators. Otherwise, the government itself will not only be to blame, but its silence will have very bad consequences.
