The name of the terrorist Muhammad al-Kawtharani, representative of the Lebanese “Hezbollah” militia in Iraq, has appeared on the political scene in the last days after the assassination of the commander of the “Quds Force” in the Iranian “Revolutionary Guard” Qassem Soleimani, who was carrying out security and military tasks in Iraq, before he The United States is liquidating an air strike months ago.
Shortly after Soleimani was killed in a US airliner attack in Iraq, the Lebanese group, backed by Iran, held urgent meetings with the leaders of armed Iraqi factions, to unify their ranks in the face of a great void behind the killing of their powerful guide, according to what sources said. "The meetings between Hezbollah and the leaders of the Iraqi armed groups began in January, just days after the assassination of Soleimani," the sources told Reuters.
Some suggest that it was held in Beirut, while others said that it was held either in Lebanon or in Iran.
She added that Al-Kawtharani, the Hezbollah representative in Iraq, who had worked closely with Soleimani for years in directing Iraqi armed groups, hosted these meetings.
She explained that “Al-Kawtharani replaced Soleimani and rebuked armed groups as Soleimani did in one of his recent meetings with her for failing to reach a unified plan to contain the popular protests against the Baghdad government and the paramilitary forces that dominate it.”
The sources pointed out that "the meetings aimed at coordinating the political efforts of the Iraqi armed factions, which are often divided, which were lost in the January 3rd attack at Baghdad Airport, not only Soleimani, but also the Iraqi military leader who plays the role of uniting these groups, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis."
Other sources in a pro-Iranian regional coalition confirmed that Hezbollah, which the United States classifies as a "terrorist" organization, was stepping in to help fill the void left by Soleimani regarding guiding armed groups.
The meetings highlighted the way in which Iran and its allied groups are trying to consolidate their control in the unstable Middle East, especially in the wake of the devastating US attack that killed a respected Iranian military commander.
The armed factions backed by Tehran are important to Iran's efforts to maintain control of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] which the United States still maintains about 5,000 military personnel.
On his way to reach the status of the former leaders, according to Iraqi exporters and a high-level Iraqi Shiite leader, Al-Kawtharani is now seen as the most appropriate person to direct the Iraqi armed factions until a permanent Iranian successor is chosen, although he has in no way what he enjoyed.

The Shiite leader said: “Al-Kawtharani has connections with armed factions.” He pointed out that he was born in Najaf and has lived in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for decades and speaks the Iraqi dialect.
He added: “Soleimani trusted him and used to rely on him and call him to help him in crises and in meetings in Baghdad.”
One of the Iraqi sources close to the factions said that Al-Kawtharani also met with Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr - a strong but unpredictable figure - to persuade him to support the new Iraqi prime minister.
Iraqi sources close to the armed factions told Reuters that Al-Kawtharani will face serious challenges, which may not be overcome, until he reaches the position of the two commanders who were killed in the drone attack.
An Iraqi source said: “Many faction leaders see themselves as too much and too important to take orders…. Currently, due to pressure from Iran, they are cooperating with him, but I doubt that this will continue, and the Iranians know that.”
One of the pro-Iranian sources, a military commander, said that Hezbollah's intervention would be for political guidance but would not amount to providing manpower and equipment to respond to Soleimani's killing.
And the commander added: “The Iraqi factions are the ones that will respond to the assassination in Iraq, and they have prepared for this waiting for the zero hour… and they do not need Hezbollah’s intervention because they possess the surplus power in number, quantity, combat expertise and firepower.”
Iraqi sources said that Al-Kawtharani also urged the formation of a united front in choosing a new prime minister for Iraq.
After that, the former Iraqi Minister of Communications, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, was named Prime Minister in a development that Iran welcomed and was approved by parties associated with the armed groups supported by Tehran, but the protesters refused to take the position.
