Abu Mujahid al-Assaf, an official of Kataib Hezbollah has said that the launch of “a new war against Iran would trigger an immediate response from the Iraqi resistance”, Al Jazeera reports.

“If a war is launched against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the participation of the resistance forces will be immediate and certain. This decision is rooted in our ideology and is not open to negotiation,” al-Assaf said in a statement, quoted by Iran’s Fars news agency.
