It was  founded by Mohammad Tabataba’i and Qais Khaza’ali and Akram Al Ka’abi, with a number of men and the followers of the Religious School ,those who reject the foreign presence . They started this movement to work in classified groups in 2004 , and sources say its approach and principles are derived from the mind of the religious authority, Mohammed Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr, who was assassinated in 1999.

American officials say that Iran is spending five million dollars a month on the League of the Righteous along with equipment and weapons, confirming that Alasa’ib previously promised to leave the arms but they did not fulfill that promise.

A source who is close to the League of the Righteous said in the report published by the American press and had been seen by  "Shafaq  News" "The group consists of nearly thousand armed men, but their followers are many and depend on the funding comes to them from Iran, including nearly five million dollars a month paid in cash in addition to the guns."
