Trump’s adviser reveals to Shafak News Washington’s position on Al-Kazemi

Shafaq News / Gabriel Soma, an American professor and member of the advisory board of US President Donald Trump, revealed on Friday the position of white whites on assigning the head of the Iraqi intelligence service, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, to form the new government.

Soma said in a statement singled out by Shafak News, that the American administration does not care about the names as much as the government work program and the policy that it will follow.

He added that the United States will not line up in favor of a candidate merely because he holds his nationality, but rather what matters to the government’s policy and what it will accomplish on the ground, not words.

And on the allegations of some that Al-Kazemi is close to the West, especially the United States of America, Sauma said, “The accusations directed against Mustafa Al-Kazemi as American-backed are the same ones that were directed against his predecessor, Adnan Al-Zarfi.”

Since the overthrow of the former Iraqi regime by US-led international forces in 2003, the Prime Minister of Iraq has been named by consensus between the political blocs with the tacit blessing of the United States and Iran.

However, Washington’s influence has waned since its withdrawal from Iraq in late 2011 in favor of Iran, which has become the main player on the Iraqi stage due to its close links with the ruling Shiite parties as well as its armed arms in the country.

Washington dealt a major blow to the Iranian influence by assassinating the Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani and the leader of the Iraqi popular crowd Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis in an air strike near Baghdad airport in January.

Parties close to Iran also face major popular protests since last year, which forced the Adel Abdul Mahdi government to resign early December, and since then the country has been in a political deadlock.

Soma pointed out that “the situation in Iraq is very embarrassing, and this is the third attempt by political forces to form a government.”

He expressed his hope to “form a national government that looks at the Iraqi people and takes care of the demands of the demonstrators and human rights.”

On Thursday, Barham Salih commissioned Al-Kazemi to form the government within 30 days, less than an hour after Prime Minister-designate Adnan al-Zarfi announced his apology for this task.

The indications suggest that Al-Kazemi’s mission will be easy in light of the support he received from most of the Shi’ite, Sunni and Kurdish political blocs.

And will succeed the new government, the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, who resigned in early December under pressure from popular protests calling for the departure and accountability of all political class accused of corruption and waste of state funds.

Hizbullah Brigades attack al-Kazemi’s mandate fiercely, describing it as a “conspiracy” and a “suspicious deal”

Baghdad / news

Today, Friday, the Hezbollah Brigades attacked Mustafa Al-Kazimi’s mandate to form the government, ferociously, calling the “conspiracy” and the “suspicious deal.”

In a statement, “Al-Ikhbaria” received a copy of it, she said, “It will not calm us down until we see those involved in the blood of the martyrs succeeding the bars of justice.”

The following is the text of the statement:

“It is unfortunate that the political reality in Iraq has reached this level of inferiority, and that the political forces that represent the majority deal with this surrender in a sensitive issue that does not accept compromise.

The consensus on the nomination of a suspicious personality to which the standards do not apply, and in this ceremonial form, is a waste of the rights and sacrifices of the people, and a betrayal of the history of Iraq.

Also, the attempt of the political forces to cross this stage by submitting to the pressure of the enemies, surrender to their choices, and falling into the trap of the adventurous boys who are caught in the corridors of disorganization, the incompetence of incompetence, the incompetence of disorganization, the incompetence of disorientation

We say it to God purely, and we mean by it the face of the generous and do not fear in it a blame blame; we refuse to be part of this conspiracy, whatever the supporting and supportive parties.

It would have been better for these forces to take a serious and sincere stance, to work on the assignment of a sincere patriotic personality, to which the standards that serve this evil people would apply to the evil people.

We said it and repeat it: This conspiracy is a declaration of war against the Iraqi people; and the loyal and patriotic citizens of this country must take their usual role in rejecting this disastrous deal.

 

And we will not stop chasing those involved in the blood of the martyrs and the leaders of the victory, and you will not rest for us until we see them behind the bars of justice, and God is the God of God.

US official: We believe that Al-Kazemi will be great and Iran’s threat to our forces remains great

Shafak News / US Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs David Schenker said that the threat of Iranian-backed factions to American forces in Iraq was still “significant”, about a week after US President Donald Trump warned of an attack by Iran or its proxies.

Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Schenker did not provide details of the threat, but said, “It is still big.”

Iranian-backed armed groups regularly bombed bases hosting American forces in Iraq as well as the area around the US embassy in Baghdad.

Three Katyusha rockets landed on Monday near an area in southern Iraq that includes workers for foreign oil companies, including American oil services company Halliburton. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

Last week, Trump said Iran or its proxies had planned an attack on US targets in Iraq and warned that they would pay a “very high price” but gave no details.

The hostility has been marred by US-Iranian relations since the Islamic revolution toppled the US-backed Iranian Shah in 1979 and Iran entered an era of religious rule.

While there was a breakthrough in the Iranian nuclear deal concluded in 2015, relations deteriorated with Trump’s decision nearly two years ago to abandon this multilateral agreement and re-impose US sanctions that paralyzed the Iranian economy.

Tensions worsened after a US airstrike on January 3 killed Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who founded the Shi’ite Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq after the US-led invasion in 2003.

Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States had proposed a “strategic dialogue” with Iraq in June, in an effort to improve strained bilateral ties.

Schenker emphasized that Baghdad needs to take steps if it is building the Washington partnership. He previously said in March that Washington was “deeply disappointed” with Iraq’s performance in protecting the US-led coalition forces.

“If the Iraqis value that relationship, they should take certain steps, and this includes providing protection for the coalition forces present in Iraq, if they want them to stay,” he said.

On Thursday, the President of Iraq assigned Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazemi, the Intelligence Chief, to become the third person to be chosen to lead Iraq in ten weeks, as Iraq finds it difficult to form a new government after the collapse of the previous government under the weight of protests that have continued for months.

“If Al-Kazemi is an Iraqi nationalist committed to achieving sovereignty for Iraq and fighting corruption, it will be great for Iraq and we think it will be wonderful for our bilateral relationship,” Schenker said of Al-Kazemi’s choice.
