The U.S. State Department spokesperson has expressed disappointment over Iraq\u2019s lack of cooperation with Washington\u2019s efforts to curb resistance groups operating within the country, acknowledging that American attempts to confront these groups have not been successful.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson emphasized that the Biden administration had expected Iraqi officials to freeze the assets of groups such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Yemen’s Ansarullah. However, Iraq\u2019s reversal of this decision has reportedly disappointed Washington.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson claimed that these groups pose threats to both the region and the world, and called on countries to ensure their territory is not used by such groups for training, fundraising, acquiring weapons, or launching attacks.<\/p>\n
He added that the United States will continue to apply pressure on the Iraqi government to take concrete steps to limit the activities of these groups.<\/p>\n
While these remarks reflect Washington’s official stance toward resistance groups in the region, the failure to secure Baghdad\u2019s support raises questions about the effectiveness of this approach and its impact on U.S. regional influence and engagement in Iraq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
