Ahlulbait Indonesia Denies Its Figures’ Involvement in Alleged IRGC Unit 4000 Operation in Tanjung Priok
Ahlulbait Indonesia (ABI) has issued an official denial over news reports linking its chairman Ustaz Zahir Yahya and Shura Council member Ustaz Abdullah Assegaff to an alleged operation by Unit 4000 of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) at Tanjung Priok Port. The reports refer to an Iran International story citing anonymous sources without any independently verifiable factual evidence.
ABI stressed that the mention of names in the report doesn’t prove involvement, and regretted that the media outlet didn’t seek confirmation beforehand. The organization emphasized that neither figure has any connection whatsoever to the IRGC or Unit 4000, and called for the circulating information to be held accountable.
As an Islamic mass organization based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, ABI reaffirmed its stance of encouraging international conflict resolution through diplomacy, including via the UN and the OIC, and separating the organization’s position from accusations of foreign intelligence operations.
