A senior Iraqi lawmaker says a proposed truce by anti-terror resistance groups, which are part of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), better known by the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi, to suspend attacks on United States forces\u00a0is temporary and depends on the complete withdrawal of American troops by year-end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe truce isn’t open-ended,\u201d Ahmad al-Assadi, spokesman of the\u00a0Fatah\u00a0Alliance and a former official spokesman for Hashd al-Sha\u2019abi, told AFP news agency late on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my estimation, at its earliest it could end around the US elections,\u201d slated for November 3, \u201cor it could last until the end of the year,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA truce lasting longer than the end of the year doesn’t make much sense. We’re only giving the government more time to negotiate the withdrawal,\u201d Assadi pointed out.<\/p>\n

Kata\u2019ib Hezbollah: All weapons must be pointed at US positions in Iraq<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Amid threats of a US war against Iraq\u2019s anti-terrorism resistance groups, a significant faction of Iraq\u2019s Popular Mobilization Units \u2014 better known as Hash al-Sha\u2019abi \u2014 reiterates its readiness to end the US military presence in the Arab country.<\/p><\/div>\n

Iraqi resistance groups, in a joint statement released on October 10, agreed on a conditional ceasefire to American forces present in Iraq, saying they would halt their military operations against the US troops, including rocket attacks, provided that Washington does not persist in maintaining its\u00a0presence in the Arab country.<\/p>\n

They stressed that the \u201cconditional opportunity\u201d was created \u201cto respect the good efforts made by some national and political figures to draw up a clear and specific timetable for the implementation of the decision of the Iraqi people, parliament, and government on withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Iraq\u2019s prominent resistance group says US troops must leave the country or they will be targeted by all weapons of the resistance factions.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anti-US sentiments have\u00a0been running high in Iraq since the assassination of top Iranian anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, and his Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Units, along with their companions in a US assassination drone airstrike authorized by President Donald Trump near Baghdad International Airport on January 3.<\/p>\n

Iraqi lawmakers\u00a0approved a bill\u00a0two days later, demanding the withdrawal of all foreign military forces led by the United States from the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
