Salam al-Zubaydi, the spokesperson of Iraq's Shiite al-Nasir Coalition, told VOA, &quot;Any armed groups conducting attacks from the Iraqi territory will be considered rebelling against the state and will put Iraq at risk of being targeted by the United States and Israel.&quot;</p> <p><a href="https://www.dengiamerika.com/a/7911432.html" target="_blank">Click here for the full story in Kurdish.</a></p>
