Iraq is now an Iranian colony

I do not know about this news source...(if it is even one)

 

 

 

The recent takeover of Kirkuk by the Iranian backed militias and Iraqi army clearly illustrates that now Iran is calling the shots in every important decision of Iraq. This whole operation and withdrawal of PUK Peshmerga, without resistance to advancing Iraqi forces was planned by Iran Quds force commander Major General Qassem Soleimani. The extent of involvement by the Iraq Prime Minister’s office in this whole episode is still unclear, but one thing is certain -- decisions were made in Tehran and Baghdad.

Geopolitical observers are now criticizing Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, for being too quick to resort to force against Kurds at the behest of Iran rather than engaging in talks with Erbil, who had helped Baghdad in the fight against ISIS. There are a number of ways in which Iran gains from this current crisis. Not only does the conflict undermine Kurdish unity, it also boosts the role of Iranian backed Shia militias such as Hashid al-Shaabi in Iraq and makes them look like guardians of national unity rather than sectarian actors. But as a nation, Iraq is at loss, as it has sparked anger against the federal government among its sizeable Kurdish minority.

The fall of Kirkuk clearly showcases the extent to which Iraq today is an Iranian controlled territory. And it demonstrates the currently unparalleled efficacy of the Iranian methods of revolutionary and political warfare, as used by Iran Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) throughout the Arab world to promote Iran geopolitical interests. Iran’s influence in Iraq is not just ascendant, but diverse extending to almost every walk of life. Let’s have a look at various areas where Iran is dominating the Iraqi arena.

Politics- During Saddam Hussein’s rule, Iran granted asylum to a number of Iraqi opposition parties and part of its ability to greatly affect Iraqi political theatre today is linked to the fact that the individuals comprising a significant portion of the Iraqi political map formerly resided in Iran. Politically, Iran has a large number of allies in Iraq’s Parliament who can help secure its goals. Even the most senior Iraqi cabinet officials take instructions from Iran’s leadership.

Military- Tehran has been the principal backer of mainly Shiite Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) formed to fight the Islamic State and now formally absorbed into the Iraqi military. Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRCG) overseas arm.  The Quds Force provides the bulk of logistical support and advice to Popular Mobilisation Forces. In turn, Iran uses the PMF to exert military leverage over the Iraqi government to wrestle power on behalf of Iran, much like Hezbollah did in Lebanon.

Economy- Trade between these two nations is primarily unidirectional in favour of Iran.  Years of sanction and internal conflicts have rendered Iraq dependent on Iranian imports. The only place outside Iran where the Iranian currency the “Rial” is used as a medium of exchange is southern Iraq. Iran is dumping cheap, subsidized food products and consumer goods into Iraqi markets and is undercutting its neighbour’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

Natural Resources- Iran’s damming and diversion of rivers feeding the Shatt al-Arab waterway has greatly undermined the Iraqi agriculture sector in the south and hindered efforts to revive Iraq’s marshlands. Iran has withheld water flows of the Kalal River, which flows into Wasit province, and of the Karun and Karkha rivers, which flow into Basra province.

Religion- Iran has been pursuing a long-term strategy to expand its religious authority in Iraq in many ways. For example they use financial and political leverage to ensure the primacy of clerics trained in the Iranian seminary of Qom and loyal to the Iranian ideology, over clerics trained in the relatively non-political tradition of the Najaf seminary. Then, by reconstructing the Shiite shrines in Iraq, they consequently take control of their management in the long run. Lastly, they take control of pilgrimages in Iraq’s shrine cities, notably the Arbaeen procession, which attracts millions of devotees every year to Karbala.

Despite this great degree of Iranian influence on the Iraqi nation still there is a ray of hope. The current Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has the potential to be pulled out of Iran’s influence and act as an independent figure. This is especially true as he has stood in the face of Iran’s pressures on some occasions.

Even so, al-Abadi government officials must prove their allegiance to the Iraqi people and not to the Iranian regime. For example, the Iraqi judiciary is also heavily under Tehran’s influence. This was seen specifically in the country’s Supreme Court last October when they blocked al-Abadi’s judicial reform package. Efforts must clean up the judiciary and make it independent.

Current Iraqi leadership should also work to bridge the gulf with its Sunni and Kurdish minorities by establishing an equal method of governance across the country. Not all Iraqi Shiites are pro-Iranian puppets in fact, many are fervently nationalistic. Prime Minister Abadi can tap into Iraqi nationalism to combat further sectarian division.

Nalia Media Corporation:

The history of Nalia Radio and Television (NRT) goes back to the days when there were no independent media networks in the Kurdistan Region. 

In 2010, a group of freelance journalists came up with the idea of taking the lead to fill that void and launched the first ever independent media network, funded by Nalia company (Shaswar Abdulwahid Qadir). 

Shaswar Abdulwahid Qadir is the owner and founder of Nalia Media Corporation which is the only independent media corporation in the Kurdistan Region and is built under the slogan of ‘Courage, Balance and Truth.’ 

In the first week of its launch (Feb 17, 2011), NRT TV was burned down to the ground as a result of promoting free speech, but it was rebuilt and came back even stronger. Two years later on October 26, 2013 there was an assassination attempt on owner and founder of NRT, Shaswar Abdulwahid Qadir, he survived from the assassination attempt but was injured in his leg. Since the television channel was a success, two more TV channels were added to the group by the names of NRT2 and NRT Arabic. 

The corporation’s aim is to deliver news in a professional way while staying true to its slogan of ‘Courage, Balance and Truth.’ Aside from its main office in Sulaimani, Nalia Media Corporation (NMC) also has offices in Erbil, Baghdad, Brussels, Paris, London, Washington, Diyarbakir and more.

WASHINGTON POST: ABADI IS "NOT A PAWN" IN AN IRANIAN CHESS PIECE

3 Days Ago

 

Scoop 24 / Follow-up

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has proved that he is not a "pawn" driven by Iran, the Washington Post reported in an editorial on the Iraqi government's handling of the political crisis with Iraq's Kurdistan region.

The newspaper said that the Iraqi government has demonstrated the independence of its decisions despite pressure from the United States and Iran.

The newspaper cited Saadi al-Abbadi to strengthen his country's relations with Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Abadi refused yesterday in a statement on his official Facebook page to offer the government of the region to freeze the results of the referendum, insisting to cancel it to start a dialogue with Baghdad.

The authorities in the region conducted late last month a referendum said it resulted in the support system" rel="">support of a sweeping majority of voters to secede from Iraq.

Baghdad insists the referendum is unconstitutional.

Abadi: I persuaded the Peshmerga to withdraw from Kirkuk and the role of Sulaimani was "zero"

 Translation / Hamid Ahmed 

Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi appeared victorious as he described the expulsion of his armed forces to organize a rally from his last stronghold in western Iraq. "Our progress in the march was amazing," he said in an interview with Britain's Independent newspaper in Baghdad. "We will comb all areas from their remnants to the Syrian border."

At the time he was criticized for being hesitant and weak, Abadi, who became prime minister in August 2014, receives praise and praise in Baghdad for leading the Iraqi state and achieving two major successes over the past four months. The first was the liberation of Mosul, On October 16 within a period of time not exceeding a few hours and without any resistance from the Peshmerga forces. 

As a man who has achieved two strong demands and plans for two great victories never achieved by the Iraqi state, the reputation and reputation of Abadi have been high both at home and abroad. 

It was particularly gratifying when Iraqi forces recaptured vast tracts of disputed land with the Kurds, with very few casualties, stretching from Syria to the west to Iran in the east. 

"Orders were given to our armed forces that there should be no shedding of blood," Abadi said, noting that fighting with the Peshmerga may make reconciliation and reconciliation between the Kurds and the government difficult. 

In his quiet words, Abadi was determined to end the semi-autonomous rule of the Kurdistan Regional Government, which dates back to Saddam Hussein's time after his invasion of Kuwait in 1991. 

"All border crossings inside and outside Iraq must remain exclusively under the control of the federal state," Abadi said. 

This includes the Kurdish oil pipeline to Turkey via Vishkhabur, which Kurds once thought of as a support for their economic independence, as well as the Ibrahim al-Khalil crossing the main Turkish-Iraqi border in the north-western Kurdistan region. It was the lifeline of Iraqi Kurdistan with the rest of the world for a quarter of a century. In a similar way, Baghdad may occupy the Erbil and Sulaymaniyah airports, which link the Kurdistan region with the outside world. 

Abadi is in a strong position because the two major neighbors of Kurdistan, Turkey and Iran, have agreed with him to redraw federal control over the borders and Kurdish oil exports. 

Abadi said that the Turks acknowledged that they had "made a mistake" in the past when they dealt directly with the provincial government and not with the central government in Baghdad. 

The Iraqi prime minister stressed that he would not be satisfied that the Iraqi government officials have "a symbolic location only at various points of border crossings, but all border crossings and flights must be under the exclusive control of the government." 

When asked whether he would have the privilege of issuing a visa, Abadi said: "This is inevitable." 

Abadi wants the Peshmerga, either to be part of the Iraqi government's security forces or as a small local force. And was eager to know the real number of Peshmerga armed personnel, and questioned the existence of 300 thousand fighters from the Peshmerga as claimed by the Kurdish authorities. 

"I have told a number of leaders in Kurdistan that there is a small fighting force and most of the others are sitting in their homes," he said. 

Abadi recalled that when he became prime minister in 2014 after what he unexpectedly controlled over Mosul, he asked why five Iraqi teams had collapsed at the time. The main reason for this was found to be corruption in many units. Half of the soldiers were paid but were not there. Al-Abbadi suspects that the Peshmerga forces used the same style of corruption. 

He says this explains why "they failed to defend the borders of the Kurdistan region in front of Da'ash in 2014 and were forced to seek help from the United States and Iran." 

The number of Peshmerga forces may be at odds, but Abadi said: "I am ready to pay the Peshmerga's salaries under the control of the federal government if they want to keep this small local force. They have to pay the salaries. " 

"The provincial government should not become a bottomless pit from federal spending." He also expects the expense of the Kurdish government to be the same as spending in Baghdad. 

If all these changes are implemented then Kurdish autonomy will be weakened and reduced. 

Asked about Iran's influence in the Iraqi government, Abadi was furious at reports that Qasem Soleimani, director of external operations for Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, played a crucial role in the Peshmerga forces' retreat from Kirkuk during negotiations with the Kurdish leadership. 

"He certainly did not have any military role on the ground during the crisis over Kirkuk, I can assure you that his influence was zero on what happened in Kirkuk," Abadi said. 

Abadi pointed out that he called himself the Kurdish leadership and persuaded them not to fight and withdraw Peshmerga forces from the disputed areas. 

Asked about the popular crowd and the claim that he was backed by Iran and his recent meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson, who said the crowd should return to their country or be resolved, he said there had been "misquoting or misunderstanding". "It seems that Tilerson was under the illusion that the IRGC was fighting in Iraq, and it is not known that the crowd is all Iraqis. 

Abadi noted that Iraq has a lot of foreign advisers from the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other countries, including Iran, but the number of Iranian advisers is only 30. 

For the crowd, the Iraqi prime minister said he should be under the control of the government and well-organized and should have no political role, especially in the next general election in Iraq on May 12, 2018, 

Postponed.

It's Probably That Iranian Ass Puppet Maliki Behind Any Pro Iranian Propaganda !  

 

     

 

 

Here's  A Comment About The Article Above From Newshound don961 ... 

 

 

Can't count the number of articles that came out from Maliki's press touting the crucial role Soleimani played in getting the Kurds to back off Kirkuk ... here we see it was in fact Abadi who did that ... imo 

 

[mylilpony]

If that is the case then why are there pictures of soleimani in kirkuk with popular crowd, and why were there so many kurds driven from their homes? Why were there homes destroyed by bombing them, looting them, and then setting them on fire. Oh i guess that was a misunderstanding just like the one he had with Tillerson.

Video: Makili claims Kurds, Sunnis behind Mosul's fall

November 01 2017 12:20 PM

Nouri al-Maliki

 

 

Former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki continues to spread lies in order to clear his name and prove that he and his masters in Iran have not been involved in Mosul’s fall.

Erbil, al-Naqshabandiya group, Baath Party and Arab tribes have been behind the fall of Mosul in ISIS’ clutches in a Sunni-Kurdish conspiracy, al-Maliki said in a televised interview. 

He claimed that Kurds and Sunnis had agreed to withdraw before fighting ISIS. 

The former prime minister attempts as usual to cause confusion. He sometimes announces that he is not directly responsible for Mosul’s fall. At other times, he spreads lies ISIS’ social media pages used to promote. 

 

Earlier, Maliki claimed that a massacre had been carried out in al-Saqalawiya city in Anbar Governorate. 

In June, the parliamentary legal committee requested the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul's fall in ISIS' grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including  Maliki.

The Iraqi Parliament voted in 2015 on this issue and referred it to the judicial system to take the necessary measures.

Well to me the article was bothersome enough to post and let us talk about it.....

 

It bothers me. Do not get me wrong..I KNOW Maliki is a bad guy and for sure in bed with Iran..no doubt about it. He i finger pointing to anyone he can to take the spotlight off him.

 

Jabbouri...never had a happy feeling about him...I feel he will follow whoever has the money/power. 

 

Iran is smart. I could so see them planting people pretending to be pro Iraq and have a hidden agenda. (like that has not happened already)

If this article is true which i doubt it is the puk political party of kurdistan  is known to have sympathy with iran. The only thing that held the krg and the puk together were barzani and talabani and now that talabani is dead his wife would probably align with iran. I really cant see any sunni aligning with maliki after the culling they experienced from maliki's army during his reign.
