Report: Pro-Iranian militias shift strategy - No more actions against Israel 

Pro-Iranian Iraqi militias have reportedly agreed to halt their actions against Israel, according to a report published today (Monday) by the Lebanese Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar.

The leader of the Al-Nujaba movement, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, revealed that an agreement was reached with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. As part of the agreement, the factions pledged to avoid involvement in Syrian affairs and to observe developments from a distance. The decision also hinges on the anticipated Middle East policies of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, particularly regarding Iran.

The Al-Nujaba leader confirmed that the group would cease all military operations against Israel. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has given us the autonomy to decide our stance on the Syrian scene and the activities of the terrorist group known as Haya'at Tahrir al-Sham," he stated.

Kazem al-Fartousi, spokesman for the Sayyed al-Shuhada Brigades, emphasized the enduring commitment to resistance. "Circumstances shape the positions of the factions, and the principle of unity of arenas is not a temporary alliance but a matter of principle and doctrine," al-Fartousi told Al-Akhbar. "No matter the losses, Iraqi factions have not, and will not, abandon the principle of unity of arenas."

The announcement signals a notable shift in the operational focus of these militias, raising questions about their future strategies in the region.
