Iraq enters ‘new phase’ of stability as American forces eye drawdown

President Abdullatif Jamal Rashid said in an interview that US troops declared the country “100% safe” while preparing to ride the ground after more than twenty years.

While praising Washington for the role of defeating ISIS, Rashid stressed that Iraq is now planning to stand on its own-the United States continued its ties with the neighboring Iran, but insisted that Baghdad’s decision-making processes were independent.

“Americans helped us defeat terrorism … And I think Iraq is 100% safe and safe.” He said. “A new stage in Iraq focuses on improving the infrastructure.”

According to Rashid, those who worked in Iraq in the early 2000s – the fight against terrorism and civil war may not recognize this as the same place.

“We have started to develop in every aspect of life and American companies have good opportunities to improve the situation in Iraq for the number of American businessmen.”

Under this “new stage”, Rashid said Iraq wants to be defined by conflict with less and more trade.

“Our relationship with the United States is a long relationship. We want to establish a stronger relationship on trade, investment, energy and water.”

Timing is important. The US coalition, which overthrew Saddam Hussein in 2003 and later fought with ISIS, was planned under an agreement to start its last withdrawal in September this September last year. This precise timeline is uncertain and the Pentagon has explained very few details.

The problem is confident that Iraqis will dominate the parliamentary elections next month, asking for a slope of a slope of the US agreement and separation.

Behnam Taleblu, who was the Defense Foundation of Democracies (FDD), said, “Technically – or at least as claimed – Behnam Taleblu, a timetable that must start until then,” he said.

While the American commanders warned that ISIS cells are active in rural areas, the militias aligned to Iran have targeted us and Iraqi government facilities with rockets and drones.

Some argue that the opposite-ISIS mission is not finished and that US troops should remain. Nevertheless, others say that the US footprint is not a clear purpose at this point.

“I think the deterrent effect of the powers there may be important.” He said.

Rashid pushed back. He refused to talk about Iraq exaggerated about the “invasion of Iranian deputies” and said he was determined to prevent Baghdad from dictating the politics of external forces.

“We want to keep our independence as Iraqis in Iraq, we want to be influenced by foreigners.” He said.

Rashid claimed ignorance in the reports of militia attacks, but insisted that such actions would not be tolerated.

“I’m not really aware of any group [carrying out attacks]. We will not allow this. And these are against Iraqi security and Iraqi independence. ”

Nevertheless, the perception of the Iranian influence continues to be a glare point in Washington.

RS.C. “Iran’s influence already took over Iraq,” his representative Joe Wilson told Fox News Digital.

Tehran has close relations with the Shiite parties that shape the government coalitions in Baghdad, and support the militias in the popular mobilization forces that remain strong players in the country’s security environment.

Iraq also rely on Iran’s electricity and natural gas imports, Iran’s goods fill local markets and make Iraq one of Tehran’s most important trade partners despite international sanctions.

The UN gives long applause after accusing Israel with ‘genocide’ of Palestinian authority.

However, this access is not undisputed. Iraqi nationalist movements – including many Shiites – resisted the shaking of Tehran, and in recent years, mass protests condemned Iran’s role and sometimes targeted consulates. Today, Baghdad continues to be a competing domain.

Taleblu, “the Islamic Republic of Iraq looks like Swiss cheese,” he said.

Iran Iran and Iraq two neighbors, Rash Rashid said, stressed that they have friendly relationships. “We will not allow politicians of the two [U.S. or Iraq] It will be applied to the Iraqi people. “

Nevertheless, others say Iran can note the Iraqi success story. In less than 20 years, Ulus rose from the conflict and dictator leadership under Saddam Hussein to relative stability and democratic elections.

Rashid confirmed that Baghdad and Kurdistan regional government have solved the disputes of oil exports and paved the way for the continuation of flows after months of disruption. “This is very important, Ras Rashid said, Kurdish with the background.

While the Iraq Presidency is reserved for a Kurd within the scope of an informal power sharing agreement, Prime Minister Shiite Arab and Parliament President Sunni Arab.

Rashid also pointed out the parliamentary elections as proof of democratic stability in November.

“We will make elections in two months in November. This is an indication of how stable the country is … We want the process to be completely democratic,” he said.

However, the popular mobilization forces (PMF), a umbrella of most of the Shiite militias, some of which are close to Tehran, are seen as a parallel power structure that weakens Iraq’s sovereignty by critics.

However, Rashid argued that integrating all armed groups under the constitution strengthened the state rather than weakening.

And in foreign policy, Rashid tried to position Iraq as a bridge.

He welcomed the increasing recognition of the Palestinian state, praised the pushing of Donald Trump to peace in Gaza, and the war – in the Middle East or Ukraine – “does not solve any problem. Making the problem more complex.”
