Leader of Iraq’s Jaysh Al-Mukhtar (Al-Mukhtar army) Sheikh Wathiq al-Battat vowed to target Washington's interests in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region by thousands of martyrdom-seeking (suicide) operations if the US attacks Syria.Given that Al Battat admits that he receives support from Iran, his statement - trumpeted in Iranian media - neatly proves that Iran directly supports terrorists.
Speaking to FNA in Baghdad on Sunday, Sheikh Al-Battat said that his group has "23,000 fully-trained and equipped martyrdom-seeking forces who can blow the US interests in Iraq and the Persian Gulf at any time if the US commits such a stupid act".
Sheikh Al-Battat warned against any adventurism against the Syrian nation, and reiterated that the US will not be immune from the martyrdom-seeking operations of his warriors.
