The Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz (ASMLA) is a Sunni ethno-nationalist group conducting armed struggle for the secession of certain Arab districts of southern Iran from the predominantly Persian and Shia state.
ASMLA has the same covert backers as HTS in Syria: Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Israel and Western security services.
In September 2018 ASMLA carried out an attack in Ahvaz which killed over 60 people (ISIS also claimed the attack, but the two organisations are linked). Iran International conducted an interview with an ASMLA spokesman who insisted on ASMLA’s right to armed resistance and specifically claimed responsibility for the attack as a victory.[1]

This is an extremely rare concentration and indicates preparedness for a major operation; Iran is the most likely target. This kind of force is very much greater than anything deployed against Yemen to date. This anti-Iranian propaganda is not being ramped up right now to no purpose." |
