Liwa Zulfiqar

Also known asLiwa Zulfiqar

Liwa Zulfiqar is described in the provided content as an Iraqi pro-Iranian militia. In the reporting analyzed, Telegram channels seemingly affiliated with Liwa Zulfiqar were among the earliest amplifiers of messaging from the previously unknown group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI). On 9 March, a Telegram account assessed to appear linked to Liwa Zulfiqar circulated an early HAYI post announcing the start of “military operations against American and Israeli targets around the world.” The content links this dissemination pattern to a broader pro-Iranian online ecosystem involved in rapidly spreading HAYI claim messages related to low-casualty attacks against Jewish, Israeli, and U.S.-linked targets in Europe, including incidents in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The material does not directly attribute specific attacks to Liwa Zulfiqar itself, but places it within the network of pro-Iranian militia-linked channels that amplified HAYI messaging. No additional aliases or sub-groups for Liwa Zulfiqar are provided in the content.
