== Political program ==
Hamas in Iraq released a political program in April 2007 with some of the following provisions:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://abuaardvark.typepad.com/abuaardvark/2007/04/hamas_iraq_poli.html|title=Abu Aardvark: Iraq insurgency developments|access-date=7 November 2014}}</ref>
* "The movement believes in armed ''[[jihad]]'' as a means for expelling the occupier, and calls on public opinion and agencies and international institutions to respect this right... of all peoples to resist occupation, and to distinguish between that and armed crimes which target innocent civilians."
* "We believe in a necessary link between military efforts and political action as two mutually supportive instruments for achieving the goals of resistance for liberation and salvation and preventing the fundamentalist movements from harvesting the fruits of the resistance."
* "We confirm the necessity of continuing the killing until the exit of the last soldier from the occupying armies, and to not negotiate with the enemy except with an agreement of the factions of the jihad and the Iraqi resistance; and under the appropriate circumstances and conditions."

In July 2007, ''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that the group participated with other insurgent groups in an alliance called the [[Political Council for the Iraqi Resistance]], which includes a range of Islamist and nationalist-leaning groups which was formed to negotiate with the Americans in anticipation of an early US withdrawal. Main planks of the joint political program included a commitment to free Iraq from foreign troops, rejection of cooperation with parties involved in political institutions set up under the occupation and a declaration that decisions and agreements made by the US occupation and Iraqi government are null and void."<ref name="Guardian">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/Iraq/Story/0,,2129675,00.html|title=Insurgents form political front to plan for US pullout|author=Seumas Milne|work=the Guardian|date=19 July 2007|access-date=7 November 2014}}</ref>

==Operations in Diyala in August 2007==
The [[1920 Revolution Brigades]] insists that Hamas in Iraq was involved in assisting US troops in their recent [[Diyala Governorate|Diyala]] operations against [[al-Qaeda in Iraq]] in August 2007.<ref name="UrukNet" /><ref name="BrigadeMemo" />

The insistences occurred when ''The Washington Post'' reported in a telephone interview with Lt. Col. Joseph Davidson, executive officer of the 2nd Infantry Division, U.S. forces were now "partnering with Sunni insurgents from the 1920 Revolution Brigades, which includes former members of ousted president Saddam Hussein's disbanded army."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Anderson |first1=John Ward |last2=Dehima |first2=Salih |title=Offensive Targets Al-Qaeda In Iraq |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/19/AR2007061900315.html |access-date=22 September 2018 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=20 June 2007 |page=1}}</ref> The 1920 Revolution Brigades replied that: "We say to … the occupation and to your followers and agents that you made a very big lie" in linking us with the Diyala anti-al Qaida campaign.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mcclatchydc.com/iraq/story/17302.html |title=Offensives elsewhere, but Baghdad remains deadliest for U.S. troops |access-date=7 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927001937/http://www.mcclatchydc.com/iraq/story/17302.html |archive-date=27 September 2007 }}</ref> The group maintains that the US military spokesman should have referred to "Iraqi Hamas", which consisted of Brigades before the operations.<ref name="UrukNet" /><ref name="BrigadeMemo" />
