Iran and Iraqi Hezbollah
The confrontation between Ali al-Zaidi’s government and Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq is escalating following the seizure of a truck carrying missiles, amid judicial and economic pressure on the faction’s leaders and its refusal to give up its weapons. Researcher Omar Abd al-Sattar says the group’s ties to Iranian influence could make a confrontation with it an indirect confrontation with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but the article does not confirm any direct Iranian intervention to save it. The crisis could widen to include attacks on faction sites inside Iraq or US strikes on Iran. What happens next will depend on the government’s ability to assert its authority and contain the escalation.
