Two new statements and a video from Ḥarakat Anṣār Iran
Video: Ḥamzah the Martyr
Statement 2: Operation Ra’ad 1!
We, the Mujahideen of Harakat Ansar Iran, proudly bring you the news of our first successful operation from our new series of operations code named Ra’ad (operation storm). In this operation approximately 20 officers of the Iranian revolutionary guards (Pasadaran) were killed by an explosive-rigged van in the city of Chabhar, Iran while one brother Mujahid, Hamza Saravani, was martyred. The details of the operation are as follows:
The mujahideen came across a secret meeting of high ranking Iranian Revolutionary guard officers in the base of the Basij (civilian police) of Chabhar. These Revolutionary guard officers, who were previously conducting military drills, were from the Quds Karman and Sepah Salman Zahedan-21 brigades of the Iranian Revolutionary guards.
After considerable planning and preparation and by the grace of Allah, the Mujahideen planted an explosive rigged van outside the base of the Basij where the meeting was being held. They detonated the explosives once the meeting ended and the officers of the Revolutionary guards started to come out of the building. This explosion killed at least 20 enemy soldiers and officers.
After the success of this explosion the Mujahideen started to withdraw to their own base but encountered troops of the Iranian regime on their way back. A brave Mujahid amongst them, called Hamza Saravani went forth with a pre-planned fidaee (martyrdom) operation. In this operation he went towards a large mass of the regimes troops carrying weapons and an explosive vest and engaged them in a fire-fight before detonating his vest killing an unknown number of the regimes soldiers while distracting their attention from his brother Mujahideen who made their way back safely to our base.
This operation of Harakat Ansar Iran is in answer for the widespread killings of the children, scholars and other civilians of the Ahlus Sunnah of Iran. It is also to send out a message to the Iranian regime to stop killing our people, the Ahlus Sunnah of Iran, otherwise we will continue targeting the Revolutionary guards and will kill them wherever we find them and ‘Help is from Allah and victory is near’.
Statement 1: Speech By the Amīr Abū Yāsir Muskūtānī On the Eve of the First Successful Operation
In the name of the Lord of the Mujahideen.
All praises are due to Allah (3zza wajal), who through his mercy and through the sacrifice of a hero from the land of Baluchistan, who sacrificed for the sake of Allah and this Ummah, and through the hand of the Ahlus Sunnah and the Baloch people, showed the enemies of the Ahlus Sunnah of Iran that the students of our emir Abdul Malik Baloch are still alive. They showed them that, till now, the people of Baluchistan heed to the call for Jihad which Emir Abdul Malik Baloch helped to revive, and that they have not forgotten it, and that this principle, this Aqeedah of our religion is still alive.
My message to the Baluch people and the Ahlus Sunnah is that: Oh brothers, wake up from your sleep and neglect and join the caravan of the Muwahhideen and Mujahideen and defend your dignity and your religion. And I advise you, my brothers, not to be tricked by this regime and their deception. This regime is not our and your friend, in fact this regime is your biggest enemy who only seeks to destroy and corrupt your offspring. Oh people I swear to you by Allah, wake up from this negligence and sleep and defend your beliefs, principles and dignity.
Brothers, do not be fooled by the deception of the propaganda of the Rawafid regime, which has always made to you, empty and lying claims. After the operations of the Mujahideen, they collect some kids and women, to make the people believe that the brothers are attacking innocent civilians. But you have to know that, and be sure that, we are only defending the innocent people and our dignity. And that, only for this purpose, have we stood up and followed this path and that our war is against the regime and their agents alone.
And the last of my speech is (addressed) to the regime, (we tell them) that the soul of Jihad and the fight in Baluchistan have only surged and that in this path Mujahideen of Harakat Ansar Iran have firm determination. With their iron intention to destroy the regime to get the rights of Ahlus Sunnah and the people of Baluchistan and all the oppressed people of Iran, they promise that the regime will never feel comfort or security until this is achieved.

New statement from Anṣār ad-Dīn: "Warnings Against Recent Threats of War Against Azawad and Denying Relationship to the Majlis Shūrā al-Mujāhidīn in Azawad"
English:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Jamaat Ansar Al-Din is a local independent Islamist group that demands for the implementation of the Islamic Sharia, and it expressed a while ago its preparation and acceptance of the proposed mediations to find a peaceful negotiable solution for the conflict, through the Burkinabe mediator (mediator of the Economic Community of West African States) and the Algerian mediation, despite of that the temporary authorities in Mali initiated the repeated request of foreign military interference as a solution of the long conflict since the sixties of the past century, and which several agreements were signed with the sons of the region, and in every time these agreements are invalidated by the successive governments of Bamako.
And we see that as result of these actions of the temporary authorities in Mali, and its efforts to ignite a ferocious war in the region, and its involving of other parties in it, which doesn’t serve the interest of Mali itself, or the neighboring countries and threatens the regional stability and therefore it exposes all parties in the region to sufferings and widening the circle of war and no can isolate itself from its flames and being burned by it.
The France demarche and its intense campaign to interfere will only make it gain more hatred of the region’s peoples and being hostile to it more than any time before even during the period of Sarkozy and we consider the motive is greed in exploiting the underground resources and riches of the region.
Once again we reassure our commitment to the peaceful solution and our preparation to negotiate through the mediation of Algeria and Burkina Faso and we also welcome everyone who has peaceful endeavors that contribute in finding a negotiable solution.

Arabic:
“إن جماعة أنصار الدين جماعة محلية إسلامية مستقلة تطالب بإقامة الشريعة الاسلامية, و قد أبدت منذ فترة استعدادا و قبولا للوساطات المقترحة عليها لإيجاد حل سلمي تفاوضي للنزاع, و ذلك عبر الوسيط البوركيني (وسيط المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا) و الوساطة الجزائرية, و رغم ذلك بادرت السلطات المؤقتة في مالي بالطلب المتكرر للتدخل الاجنبي العسكري كحل لنزاع طويل من ستينات القرن الماضي, و الذي وقعت اتفاقيات عديدة مع أبناء المنطقة لحله, و في كل مرة تنقض هذه الاتفاقيات من قبل حكومات باماكو المتتالية.
ونحن نرى أنه نتيجة لهذه التصرفات من السلطات المؤقتة في مالي, و مساعيها الرامية لإشعال حرب ضروس في المنطقة, و اشراكها لغيرها من الاطراف فيها, و هو ما لا يخدم مصلحة مالي نفسها و لا دول الجوار و يهدد الاستقرار الاقليمي و بالتالي يعرض كل الاطراف في المنطقة بمزيد من المعاناة و توسيع دائرة الحرب و لا أحد يكون في منأى عن نيرانها و الاكتواء بها.
إن سعي فرنسا و حملتها الشديدة للتدخل لا تجني من ورائها إلا ازدياد كراهية شعوب المنطقة لها و معاداتها أكثر من أي عهد مضى من عهودها حتى من فترة ساركوزي و نعتبر أن الدافع هو الطمع في استغلال الثروات الباطنية و خيرات المنطقة.
ومرة أخرى نؤكد تمسكنا بخيار الحل السلمي و استعدادنا للتفاوض عبر وساطة الجزائر و بوركينا فاسو كما نرحب بكل من له مساعي سلمية تساهم في إيجاد الحل التفاوضي.”
من جهة أخرى نفى الناطق باسم جماعة أنصار الدين في تمبكتو سندة ولد بو اعمامه، أن تكون جماعته على علم بالبيان الذي صدر بسم “مجلس شورى المجاهدين في أزواد” وتوعد بالقصاص من قتلى الدعاة الذين أعدموا على يد الجيش المالي.
وقال ولد بواعمامة في اتصال مع وكالة نواكشوط للأنباء إنه لا علم لهم بوجود هيئة تحمل اسم مجلس شورى المجاهدين في أزواد، وإن كانت موجودة فإن جماعة انصار الدين ليست عضوا فيها ولا علم لها به، وأكد أن اعتراضهم ليس على مضمون البيان، وإنما إقرار لحقيقة قائمة وهي أنهم ليسوا أعضاء في هذا المجلس ولا علم لهم به.
