Sayyid Hashem al-Haidari

Sayyid Hashem al-Haidari is a hard-line Shia cleric known for his association with factions of the Popular Mobilisation Forces in Iraq. He recently garnered attention for issuing a call for jihad against what he termed the 'Epstein coalition'—a reference to the United States and Israel—during the ongoing conflict involving Iran, framing it as an attack on the Shia religious order.
