Khamenei’s defeat is the end of the Iraq tragedy

 

Iran would prefer to get out of Iraq defeated rather than expelled.

This is what the Iraqis will pay. This is because they decided to resist the Iranian project to expand at their expense. It is a difficult choice that Iran will seek to make them pay for before it declares its surrender.

Iranian madness is no longer replaced in the Iraqi daily dictionary. In Iraq, the slogan “Iran by land” has become the symbol. It is the key to recognizing the truth. The reality of the conflict between two wills. The first is the will of a corrupt minority, which sees Iranian hegemony as a safeguard of its interests. The second is the will of the majority represented by the people, whose satisfaction is no longer less than turning the page of the sectarian system that has come to a standstill.

Clearly, there is no possible understanding between the two wills. Therefore, the hope of a settlement that can end the conflict or slow it down is a kind of mirage that annoys Iran because of its suspicion of what it had counted on when it believed that the Iraqi file had been folded in its favor and that it was able to bury historic Iraq under the rubble of the sectarian state. That owes her loyalty.

Surprisingly, the Iranian regime discovered that all it envisioned as a solid construction through which it threatens the countries of the region is an imaginary entity and that the corrupt political class on which it relied to normalize its project in Iraq lives in complete isolation from the people it does not know.

Iran thought that it contained the Shiites of Iraq after the new regime facilitated them to practice the rituals of Husseini. But Iran has missed that the call for life lies elsewhere and that the people who wanted it as a human reservoir for the funeral processions are thinking about their lives in all its elements and aspiring to have a free and independent homeland like the rest of the world.

The Iranian regime was shocked that what they call the city of Hussein, Karbala, was the most protesting of their existence. Protesters put up a sign on the walls of the Iranian consulate there that read “It was closed by the people.”

It has become clear to Iran that the Iraqi people hate it. He hates its regime, its Shiism, its project, its militias and the political system in Baghdad because it is subordinated to it and is subject to its dictates.

However, Iran, traumatized by the abhorrence of Iraq, will not back down from its position, even though all the facts on the Iraqi street confirm that its project has become part of the past and that Iraq is no longer part of the Persian illusion empire.

If Iran were wise, it would have negotiated with the protesters through its representatives in Baghdad and ordered them to go out and leave Iraq to its people. This is the best solution and is the only solution that will satisfy the protesters and make them return to their homes. But Khamenei, a blind and irritable ideologue, is considering his expansionist project and not the fate of his followers, who could be badly hurt by popular anger.

It will be difficult to persuade Khamenei that the people he handed over to cry, cry and walk on his knees will triumph over him in defense of his life and the resurrection of his homeland. Therefore, he will remain reckless in his decisions on Iraq until he concludes the final defeat. That defeat would be a prelude to turning the page on Iranian influence in the region.

That’s what the protesters think. Which they seek to achieve. Khamenei’s defeat this time would be like Khomeini’s defeat in 1988 when he announced he had swallowed poison by agreeing to stop the war with the Arabs.

The most important lesson of demonstrations

Baghdad / Obelisk: 

Mohamed Zaki Ibrahim 

Weeks after the outbreak of demonstrations in Iraq, and the preoccupation of people with all the other news, it is necessary to recognize that it is an important event, and that the aftermath will not be like before. It is a major social revolution, which Iraq has not known for 28 years.  

If there are lessons to be drawn from what happened, the most important lesson is that these protests would not have enjoyed all this momentum if Iraq had no democratic system that believed in the liberation of liberties. No other authoritarian regime, such as that existed in Iraq before 2003, would have allowed people to gather in Tahrir Square, Habboubi Square, or other arenas. 

This fact may be absent from many people who are taken by the enthusiasm spree of the magnitude of these protests, and spread to all southern provinces, to the point where it sometimes turned into an opportunity to settle the old accounts. 

Although I believe that the democratic system that governs Iraq today contains many contradictions, flaws and errors, it is certainly positive this time, and it allowed unquestionably the spread of these demonstrations, and gave them a lot of protection and support. The presence of security forces at bridges and roadblocks is a natural measure to protect the country from tampering with chaos. 

To anyone who doubts this fact, southern protesters burned down a house belonging to the family of a police officer who was assassinated 11 years ago by an extremist religious group. They also tried to burn the house of another official, including women and children, without the wise intervention in the same city! 

There are other lessons offered by these demonstrations free of charge, for everyone involved in politics. They are too numerous or counted. But sacrificing such a system must be followed by another, more mature, fair and objective system. Otherwise, these demonstrations would be futile. People will realize that it was too late for them. Freedom of expression is their most valuable asset, their most cherished rights, and their best privileges.

AFP: Abdul Mahdi and Barham are in a state of estrangement .. Tehran is uncomfortable with the role of the President of Iraq

BAGHDAD / Obelisk: Iraqi demonstrators are worried on Wednesday, 6 November 2019, that the interruption of the Internet is a sign of a return to violence in the country at the beginning of October, according to Agence France-Presse.

On the political front, things seem to be frozen until now, especially with the announcement of Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi on Tuesday that the solutions presented so far are not enough, especially the holding of early parliamentary elections.

The issue of the elections was proposed by President Barham Salih, who is conducting political consultations with senior leaders in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

So far it is clear that Abdul Mahdi and Saleh are in a state of estrangement, an Iraqi official told AFP, where Abdul Mahdi feels his ally has abandoned him.

Several political sources close to the decision circles told AFP that “Iran is not comfortable with the role of Barham Saleh in the current crisis, has abandoned those who brought him to the presidency at the first crossroads.”

Baghdad: «Middle East Online»

The US embassy in Baghdad on Wednesday condemned the killing and abduction of unarmed protesters by security forces in Iraq and urged the country’s leaders to “react urgently and seriously” with protesters.

“We deplore the killing and abduction of unarmed protesters, the threat to freedom of expression and the cycle of violence,” the embassy said in a statement. “Iraqis must be free to make their own decisions about the future of their country.”

The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote yesterday on the site «Twitter» that the people of Iraq and Lebanon «deserve to choose their paths away from the intervention of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei».

Security forces shot dead at least 13 protesters in the 24 hours to Tuesday evening, giving up their relatively restraint for weeks in a bid to quell anti-government protests.

In a related context, «Reuters» that Iraqi security forces fired live bullets in the air today to disperse protesters gathered on the bridge of the martyrs in Baghdad. There were no apparent casualties.

Protesters closed the bridge since yesterday afternoon, as thousands continued to rally in anti-government protests in Baghdad and southern provinces.

The protests, which began on October 1, last year, the bloody violence that killed about 270 people, according to a census of Agence France-Presse, at a time when authorities refrain from publishing an official toll for a week.

The first wave of protests between October 1 and 6 was marked by snipers on the roofs of buildings targeting protesters, but their identities remain unknown to the authority, which recalled that phase by cutting off the Internet in Baghdad and the south of the country at night.

While the second wave of protests calling for the “overthrow of the regime”, which resumed on October 24, after an 18-day break over Hussein’s 40s, took on the nature of peaceful civil disobedience, the two were clearly violent. Violence erupted overnight on Monday in Karbala, killing four protesters by security forces, as they tried to burn the Iranian consulate building. A large part of the Iraqi street accuses Iran of being behind the political system, which they consider corrupt and demanding its overthrow.
