The first Iraqi faction to enter the Iranian-American war

The Secretary-General of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, Abu Alaa al-Walaei, threatened on Thursday to send dozens of "martyrs" to attack American interests if war breaks out against Iran.

Al-Walaei wrote in a post that was widely circulated on social media: "If war breaks out, hundreds of suicide bombers will be on the scene, and America's pride will be humiliated again, just as it was the first time in Iraq when it left, dragging its tails of disappointment."

He added: "This time, neither America nor its agents will remain in the Middle East, and regimes that sought protection from occupation will fall. Then victory will belong to God and His faithful servants."

This comes at a time of escalating regional tensions, following statements by Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, in which he threatened that his country would "strike US bases in the region if a conflict erupts with Washington over the nuclear talks."

For its part, the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) confirmed on Wednesday that it had authorized the voluntary departure of US military families from several locations within the US Central Command (CENTCOM) operational area, which includes Iraq and other countries in the Middle East.

A Pentagon official told Shafaq News Agency, "The safety and security of our armed forces personnel and their families remains our top priority, and US Central Command (CENTCOM) continues to monitor escalating tensions in the Middle East."

The official added: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved the voluntary departure of military families from multiple locations within the Central Command's operational area."
