In a defiant statement issued on Friday, the pro-Iran Al-Nujaba movement declared its intention to persist with attacks on US troops in the Middle East, despite warnings from Washington. This follows the recent killing of three US soldiers in Jordan, which has escalated tensions in the region.

Al-Nujaba leader Akram al-Kaabi stated, "Any (US) strike will result in an appropriate response," emphasizing the group's readiness to retaliate. The movement asserted that it would continue its actions until US troops withdraw from Iraq and Israel ceases its military operations against Hamas in Gaza.

The US had previously issued a threat to retaliate after the attack on its soldiers in Jordan, raising concerns about a potential escalation of hostilities between the two sides. Al-Nujaba's uncompromising stance further complicates the regional security situation, heightening the risk of continued confrontations.
