(IQNA) \u2013 Iraq\u2019s anti-terror Kata\u2019ib Hezbollah group, a faction of the country\u2019s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) or Hashd al-Sha\u2019abi, warned that a \u201ctougher and stronger\u201d confrontation awaits US forces should they defy a timetable set for their withdrawal from the Arab country.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Kata\u2019ib spokesman Muhammad Mohi stressed on Thursday that the conditional ceasefire with foreign soldiers in Iraq should be taken seriously as the limits and conditions set by the resistance will be followed by confrontation.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

He also referred to a statement by the Iraqi Resistance Coordination Commission, which warned that the next stage of the resistance will soon happen.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cThis stage may be tougher and stronger featuring new types of weapons,\u201d Mohi explained, Press TV reported.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Americans may not be able to assess the capabilities of the Iraqi resistance groups, but they should know that those factions have the potential to engage them and thwart their schemes, he added.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Kata\u2019ib spokesman further urged the Iraqi government to preserve the country\u2019s sovereignty and control its land and sky, otherwise it will be accused of collaborating and colluding with the Americans.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Anti-US sentiment has been running high in Iraq following Washington\u2019s January 3 assassination of top Iranian anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and senior Hashd al-Sha\u2019abi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, in addition to several other comrades, outside the Baghdad airport.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Just two days later, Iraqi lawmakers unanimously passed a bill mandating the expulsion of all foreign troops from the country.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Washington, however, has threatened sanctions should US troops be expelled from Iraq instead of ending the occupation of the Arab country.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Last month, members of the Iraqi Resistance Coordination Commission published a statement suggesting that they would halt their military operations against the US troops, including rocket attacks, providing that Washington does not persist in maintaining its presence there.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The resistance groups also agreed on a conditional ceasefire with American forces and 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<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

They, however, threatened to \u201cuse all the weapons at their disposal\u201d against American forces if they refuse to pull out from Iraq.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
