Armed Factions Announce Postponement of Military Response, Affirming the Continuation of Diplomatic Efforts

The armed factions operating under the name "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" announced the postponement of their military operations, which were scheduled in response to recent airstrikes targeting security headquarters. In an official statement, the factions clarified that the decision to delay came in response to appeals from prominent political leaders and to allow space for ongoing diplomatic movements to manage the crisis. Simultaneously, the factions delivered a sternly worded message, asserting that the blood of the victims will not be subjected to political bargaining, and that safeguarding national sovereignty requires resolute stances far from the language of mere condemnation. This coincides with political calls for de-escalation and prioritizing dialogue and diplomatic channels to contain the repercussions of the recent attacks.
