Some stupid Taliban from Afghanistan have totally bankrupted and manipulated the informations on this side. It's not anymore a source for knowledge and information, but for a propaganda war. Fyi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.57.33.83 (talk) 06:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue of paying allegiance to Iran

[edit]

Keep the following in mind when making any claim of PMF groups paying allegiance to Iran:

1. In light of the seriousness of the allegation, I would venture to claim that one would need official confirmation. Provide proper proof of official statements of the group or said group’s leaders wherein they openly admit to paying political allegiance to another state. Proof of the fact that Iran had a role in creating or supporting these groups, or that they have converging interests/ideologies is not sufficient; states around the world including U.S have created as well as support formal armed groups as well as informal groups, militias etc. would it be fair to claim that they pay allegiance to U.S simply because they were created by the U.S or receive support from it or they agree with each other ideologically?

2. Distinguish between political allegiance and Taqlid (jurisprudential emulation). Taqlid of individual people in any of these groups to Khamenei or any other Iranian or non-Iranian Mujtahid (even if it were true) does not equate to the whole group paying political allegiance to another state. (This has been suggested by some political commentators).

3. Obviously pay heed to the overall reliability and neutrality of the source provided. Montblamc1 (talk) 09:21, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We rely on what RS say. The vast majority of RS characterize the PMF as Iran-backed militias or proxies, asserting that they pledge allegiance to Iran. This source states that "The most powerful groups in the PMF are those that maintain strong links with Tehran and pledge spiritual allegiance to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei." Another source maintains that Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq maintains "Undeniable links to Iranian funding and religious allegiances to Iranian clerical rule." This source also states that both Kata'ib Hezbollah and the Badr Organization maintain a "strong connection to the Revolutionary Guards and its religious-political allegiance to the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei," with the Badr Organization originally forming a subunit of the IRGC. On top of this, all of these groups share the ideologies of Khomeinism and Wilayat al-Faqih.[1] These factions are the largest within the PMF, making it clear that at least certain groups pledge allegiance to Iran and its Supreme Leader.

I invite you to read the talk page. Montblamc1 (talk) 15:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Read what I wrote instead of merely pressing your POV. I clearly emphasised that it is important to distinguish between Taqleed and political allegiance to a state. Also, the only political allegiance claim of the source is specific to Badr. Is it proper then to add that the whole of PMF pays allegiance to Iran but add the caveat “certain factions”, when in reality there’s only one faction that the sources claim pay political allegiance to Khamenei according to the source. Is this a proper synthesis? It would be much more acceptable to add this detail to the body. Montblamc1 (talk) 16:05, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, keep in mind the fact that PMF is legally part of the Iraqi Armed Forces and the article is about the collective PMF as a formation and not specific factions. So adding that the PMF pays allegiance to Iran even if it specified that only “some” do it is inaccurate, and the same applies to terrorism designation. The PMF is not a designated terrorist organisation, rather, groups that are part of the collective PMF are designated as such. It would not be accurate to add into the infobox that PMF is a designated terror organisation even if you specify that only some groups are designated as such. This type of hairsplitting does not belong to the infobox. Montblamc1 (talk) 16:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not my "POV," it's what reliable sources state. "there’s only one faction that the sources claim pay political allegiance to Khamenei" Here is a source that states that Kata'ib Hezbollah has "boasted publicly about its military capabilities and allegiance to Iran’s supreme leader," and here's another that says "Along with the Badr Organization and Asaib Ahl al-Haq, they [Kata'ib Hezbollah] have pledged allegiance to Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei." I don't think it can get any clearer than this.
"PMF is legally part of the Iraqi Armed Forces" This doesn't mean anything since it is a fact that the PMF's "major leadership and decision makers often sat outside of" the control of the National Security Council.[2] Skitash (talk) 16:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Badr Organization pledge loyalty to Ayatollah Hakim and Asaib Ahl al-Haq is loyal to Sadiq al-Sadr. Neither have any loyalty to Iran. The AAH leader Qais al-Khazali has explicitly opposed any Iranian military presence in Iraq viewing them as foreigners. That's not a sign of loyalty. The PMF, despite Iranian influence is an Iraqi organization and answers the Iraqi government. 37.237.117.30 (talk) 22:07, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The PMF is an Iraqi military organization and claims of Iranian allegiance are very misleading and hurtful to the article. The head of PMF, Faleh Al Fayyadh,has explicitly stated that the PMF is under the command of the Iraq Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and is committed to his orders. His statement is far more important than opinions of some pro-American journalist. When PMF soldiers dies, their caskets are wrapped with Iraqi flags, which shows where they truly belong. 37.237.117.30 (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add in "Concerns about growth": As Kiki Santing shows in her new research, the group has gained influence over the reconstruction process in places like Mosul. This allows them to gain financial income and political influence and to control the process of rebuilding the city. She also claims to see signs of demographic change in the form of Shiization. https://kritarab.hypotheses.org/636 Bunn al-Abyad (talk) 19:32, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
