In a speech aired by Al-‘Ahd TV [Iraq] on December 8, 2019, Qais Khazali, leader of the Asai’b Ahl Al-Haq Iraqi Shiite Militia said that the U.S. has leveled sanctions on him because he has exposed the “conspirative role“ the U.S. has played in recent Iraqi protests, including a joint command center for the CIA and Mossad in Iraq. He said that his response to these sanctions will be to continue to oppose the “U.S. enterprise” and to expose the “subversive American role in Iraq”. Khazali pledged that when their “economic” interests are harmed, the militias may “take measures” against U.S. economic interests in Iraq.
