Iran tells Middle East militias: prepare for proxy war

Islamism is a concept whose meaning has been debated in both public and academic contexts. The term can refer to diverse forms of social and political activism advocating that public and political life should be guided by Islamic principles or more specifically to movements which call for full implementation of sharia. It is commonly used interchangeably with the terms political Islam.
And no, I'm not a diehard secularist either.
Now there is a cut and paste.
It's a recent term to placate western thinking of what a Muslim who prays is. Another crappy jargon that lemmings just regurgitate

If some PMU have these they must be somewhere in bases kept secret from public view because there's no hard evidence of them having those. Haven't been used against IS either

You think those militias are going to publicly parade those missiles? Please. And they haven't been used against IS because there has been no military need, IS isn't a conventional military with overt presence and because Iran has primarily giving these missiles to these militias for deterrence.

Foolish to have made the trip, idiotic to have had people there who leaked the information on the meeting.

Next militia attack in Iraq the US will bring up his instructions, blame Iran and use that as an excuse.
Using proxies relies on deniability, having the head of the IRG brief them before the attack sort of blows that out of the water.

The problem is, as this mostly applies to Iraq. That the largest and most PMU groups will follow Baghdad's orders, a few smaller groups will answer Soleimani's requests and this will cause clashes between the gov allied troops and those that answer to the IRGC. It's unlikely to reach the Americans in Iraq

Hezbollah Nujaba is not part of the PMU and will answer to the IRGC, same for saraya al khorsani.

The rest pretty much abides by Baghdad's foreign policy

Iraqis are Arab first and then Shia and we know how much love there is between Arabs and Farsis
