According to IRNA, citing Iraqi media on Wednesday night, Ansarullah opened a representative office in Baghdad on Monday a few days after a series of extensive activities of Abu Idris al-Shorfi, the representative of Ansarullah in Iraq, and a number of members of this movement who have been residing in the country since 2016.
Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed reportedly contacted Iraqi security officials for a confirmation of opening of the office but did not get an adequate response but an advisor in the government of Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani told the news network that "this is not a representation office but a headquarter of Ansarullah members who until recently were residing in a hotel in Baghdad."
The official told, on the condition of anonymity, that Iraq is keen that Ansarullah does not carry out any hostile activities against any country on Iraqi soil.
