WHAT HAPPENED

On 29 September, The New Region reported that Abu Mujahid al-Assaf, a Kataib Hezbollah security official, threatened to close ports in countries involved in a US embargo on Iranian flights. KH-affiliated Sabereen News had published remarks attributed to him the previous evening saying resistance forces would warn aircraft they deemed hostile in Iraqi airspace and then work to shoot them down. The port threat remains a press-reported statement, not a reported port closure.

    “The victorious Islamic Resistance will monitor Iraqi airspace for violations by hostile aircraft; we will warn them first, then work to shoot them down.”

    ستراقب المقاومة الإسلامية الظافرة الأجواء العراقية للتأكد من عدم انتهاكها من الطيران المعادي، وسننذر أولاً، وسنعمل على إسقاطها ثانياً

WHY IT MATTERS

The port warning broadens the reported objects of al-Assaf’s threats beyond Iraqi airspace, but its wording has not been published by a Kataib Hezbollah channel.
