Den militær leder af de irakiske populære styrker i byen Haditha, afslørede at styrkerne fra den amerikansk ledede koalition i byen fortsætter med at afslå beskydningen af terrorister fra Islamisk Stat.

"De amerikanske styrker nægter at beskyde forsamlingscentre for Islamisk Stat tæt ved byen al-Ratba i den vestlige del af al-Anbar under påskud af tilstedeværelsen af Hashd al-Sha'abi (populære) styrker i regionen," fortalte Oberst Nazzem al-Juqaifi til al-Ma'louma news website onsdag.

Hans sagde at hans styrker er ansvarlige for opretholdelse af sikkerheden for en hovedvej som forbinder 160km af regionen med byen al-Ratba.

Mens IS terrorister forbereder angreb på byen, så nægter koalitionsstyrkerne at lancere luftangreb på deres forsamlingscentre, som har været en alvorlig trussel for de irakiske sikkerhedstyrker nær al-Ratba, sagde Juqaifi.

De frivillige irakiske styrkers ledere har fortsat med at lange ud efter USA og dets allierede i regionen for at fortsætte med militær og logistik støtte til takfiri terrorister fra Islamisk Stat (IS) i Irak i løbet af de sidste to år.

"Washington still continues its military supports for the terrorists in Iraq," Spokesman of Iraq's Ansarullah al-Nujaba Movement Hashem al-Moussavi told FNA in April.

He reiterated that al-Nujaba Movement forces are collecting documents, photos and videos of supplies airdropped by the US-led coalition forces for the ISIL terrorists in Iraq.

"Our forces have filmed the US aircraft while dropping military aids for the besieged ISIL terrorists," al-Moussavi said.

Also, in December, Commanders of the Iraqi popular forces complained that the US is hindering the start of the final phase of the operation to regain control of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province.

"The US bargains and pressures on the Baghdad government have prevented accomplishment of the Ramadi liberation operation," Abu Yousef al-Khazali, a commander of Seyed al-Shohada battalion, told FNA.

"The US has long been seeking to force the government to stop using the popular forces in military operations against ISIL, specially in the liberation operations conducted in different Iraqi regions," he added.

Also in the same month, a commander of the Iraqi volunteer forces complained that US meddling has hindered their victory over the Takfiri terrorist group and prevented them from taking control over the strategic cities of Ramadi and Fallujah.

Commander of Imam Khamenei Battalion Haidar al-Hosseini al-Ardavi accused the US of taking maximum efforts to prevent mop-up operations by the popular forces in the province of Anbar.

According to him, the meddling will also affect the advances by the Iraqi forces against terrorists in other provinces.
