RNA - "The US presence in Iraq is rejected by the political parties and people," Mo'ein al-Kazzemi was quoted as saying by the Arabic-language al-Maslah news website on Saturday.
He warned of the US attempts to turn Iraq into a launchpad to damage the neighboring states, and said Washington's behavior might face unexpected reactions from inside Iraq.
"They had better end their presence in Iraq in a move to protect their forces and personnel," al-Kazzemi said.
According to Fars News Agancy, in relevant remarks in May, Asa'eb al-Haq Movement affiliated to Hashd al-Shaabi reiterated the necessity for the American forces to leave Iraq.
Senior member of the politburo of Asa'eb al-Haq Laith al-Ozari underscored the Movement's opposition to the deployment of foreign forces in Iraq as "occupation", cautioning that all citizens were entitled to the right to fight these foreign occupiers.
Al-Ozari said that the political fractions in Iraq would not allow their country's territory be used as a platform for attacks on the neighboring states.
