Reports published on 28 and 29 September attribute to Abu Mujahid al-Assaf, identified as a Kataib Hezbollah security official, a warning that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government could be brought down if restrictions on Iranian aviation continued after 1 October. Shafaq News and Kurdistan24 identify him as the speaker; eanlibya.com also calls the warning one from Islamic Resistance in Iraq while naming al-Assaf. The reports establish what was attributed to him, not that any attempt to bring down the government has begun.

““Islamic Resistance in Iraq” threatened measures against the Iraqi government headed by Ali al-Zaidi, up to an attempt to bring it down, if what it called the “air blockade” on Iran continued after 1 October. The report then named Abu Mujahid al-Assaf, a Kataib Hezbollah security official, as having posted on X.”
هددت «المقاومة الإسلامية في العراق» باتخاذ إجراءات ضد الحكومة العراقية برئاسة علي الزيدي، وصولاً إلى محاولة إسقاطها، في حال استمرار ما وصفته بـ«الحصار الجوي» المفروض على إيران بعد الأول من أكتوبر المقبل. وقال أبو مجاهد العساف، المسؤول الأمني في كتائب حزب الله العراقي، في تدوينة على منصة «إكس»
The distinction bears on whether this is recorded as a KH official’s warning or as a collective Islamic Resistance in Iraq statement; the reporting establishes the former attribution more directly.
