NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg revealed the presence of NATO forces in Iraq after receiving a written request from Prime Minister Abadi on the pretext of training Iraqi forces and providing the necessary support.

Legal experts described Abbadi’s approval as a “major breach” of the constitution and the sovereignty of the country because it is within the jurisdiction and powers of parliament as the representative of the people. The Islamic resistance factions renewed their firm position rejecting the survival of any foreign troops occupying Iraq and resisting it by word and weapon.

A member of the Political Bureau of the movement of Asaib Ahl al-Haq Laith al-Athari assured the Iraqi observer that the position of the forces opposing the survival of the foreign and American forces occupied is constant and will not change. He pointed out that the government’s request of NATO to stay in Iraq after declaring victory over terrorism clearly demonstrates that this is no more than For being a justification and a pretext to legitimize the survival of US forces occupied because of the lack of legal justification for the survival of these forces and therefore return through NATO and gain legitimacy in this regard.

Al-Athari pointed out that the political forces that have coordinated their statements over the past few days regarding the survival of the occupied American forces have gone bankrupt politically and publicly and are seeking to win the American administration in order to win the next elections because they believe that America dominates the Iraqi political scene.

Al-Athari added that the bullying abroad is a great insult to the Iraqi security forces of all kinds and popular crowd, especially that these forces gave a lot of blood in order to liberate Iraq from terrorism and try to bring foreign forces sends false messages to these forces and their leaders that they are not qualified to manage the security file in the country.

The legal expert Ali al-Tamimi confirmed in a statement to (Iraqi observer) that all the presence of foreign forces in Iraq need to approve and vote the parliament as the representative of the people and the government can not pass this approval and legislated in this way and in the case of the government’s insistence on this matter, Article 64 of the Constitution granted The Parliament has the power to hold them accountable and even to interrogate and dismiss them, but it may be subject to political consensus and quotas and thus lack of seriousness to activate this matter.

Al-Tamimi explained that the Iraqi diplomacy suffers from weakness and dispersion especially in international forums, which encouraged most countries in the world to seek to intervene in Iraqi affairs and breach of sovereignty, which is unacceptable and objectionable and raises suspicion and surprise and must take serious positions in this regard and this matter of the national forces that are reliable to preserve prestige Country and to ward off risks and a suspicious agenda.
