According to the correspondent of Rasa News Agency in the holy city of Najaf, Najaf Friday prayer leader, Hujjat al-Islam Qabbanchi, making a speech, stated, “Hurling accusations at the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (IPMF) by some political figures is irrefutable evidence on this military force’s promotion to a high political position.”
He reiterated, “The IPMF deserves to be supported and esteemed as it is both doughty and zealous, moreover, it is the voice of the Iraqi deprived class.”
Finally, Hujjat al-Isalm Qabbanchi stated, “The insertion of four Iraqi officials onto the US sanction list is an inappropriate action, the US and the Zionist Regime are the chief supporters of terrorism, and help the leaders of the ISIS group like Abubakr al-Baghdadi. The US, together with the Zionist Regime, is responsible for the instability of the region and an example for this claim is the seizure of the Iranian tanker by them.”
