[IsraelTimes] Several powerful Iranian-backed militia groups in Iraq are prepared to disarm for the first time to avert the threat of an escalating conflict with the US Trump administration, 10 senior commanders and Iraqi officials tell Rooters.”To His Grandiosity, the honourable, esteemed, and very blond President Trump:
Please, please, please don’t hurt us! We can be good — we promise!!!
Please ignore how we picked on your sweet little army bases all these years…”
The move to defuse tensions follows repeated warnings issued privately by US officials to the Iraqi government since Trump took power in January, according to the sources, which include six local commanders of four major militias.
The officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband the militias operating on its soil, America could target the groups with

i and several militia leaders are "very advanced," and the groups are inclined to comply with US calls for disarmament.
"The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting on continuing in their current form," he says, adding that the groups are "fully aware" they could be targeted by the US.
The six militia commanders interviewed in Baghdad and a southern province, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive situation, are from the Kataib Hezbollah, Nujabaa, Kataib Sayyed

"Trump is ready to take the war with us to worse levels, we know that, and we want to avoid such a bad scenario," a commander of Kataib Hezbollah, the most powerful Shi’ite militia, says, who speaks from behind a black face mask and sunglasses.
The commanders say their main ally and patron, Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) military force, had given them its blessing to take whatever decisions they deemed necessary to avoid being drawn into a potentially ruinous conflict with the United States and Israel.
The militias are part of the Islamic Resistance® in Iraq, an umbrella group of about 10 hardline Shi’ite armed factions that collectively command about 50,000 fighters and arsenals that include long-range missiles and anti-aircraft weapons, according to two security officials who monitor militias’ activities.
The Resistance® group, a key pillar of Iran’s network of regional proxy forces, has grabbed credit for dozens of missile and drone attacks on Israel and US forces in Iraq and Syria since the Gazoo

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
