Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba (Nujaba — official armed group channel) and Noon Media (Nujaba — official social media) published the movement's signed statement within seconds of each other late this morning, demanding expulsion of American bases, severance of "all forms of cooperation with the criminal Saudi regime … the head of the snake and the financier of terrorism against Iraq," immediate government action beyond "statements of condemnation," advanced air defences with accountability for "whoever caused the nation's sky to be left open to the killers' desires," and warning that Washington's and Saudi Arabia's rulers will not defile Iraqi soil "without a heavy price paid from their interests and their security." The identical text then appeared on Sabereen News and Al-Ittijah TV (Kataib Hezbollah — affiliated and official), Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada — affiliated), Jehad Brothers Team (Nujaba — affiliated), Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned/non-official) and Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official), the last explicitly headed "Statement of the Iraqi Islamic Resistance – Harakat al-Nujaba." No other tracked faction issued a statement of its own on the strike in the collected window.
Opening the record…
