Washington warns Baghdad of any parliamentary legislation affecting the presence of its troops in Iraq

The United States warned on Tuesday of the danger of Iraq's enactment of any parliamentary law forcing foreign troops out of the country, stressing that such decisions could cause severe damage between the parties.

A senior Iraqi politician told foreign media today (January 15, 2019) that "this communication was conveyed by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to the Iraqi political leadership, during his visit to Baghdad last week."

According to deputies who spoke with those means, the head of the parliamentary bloc of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Adnan Fihan, is leading the dialogues with various parliamentary parties to persuade them to support the efforts to pass this law, which will later become a platform for Iran's allies in Baghdad, US troops from the country .

"What the United States expects is for Iran to start its defensive war from Baghdad by establishing a legal base that will shift its soldiers and freedom of movement in Iraq if it does not succeed in passing a law that provides for the illegality of the presence of foreign troops on Iraqi territory, Which could be the subject of disagreement between the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi and the House of Representatives, which tends to the majority of its members to Iran, varying degrees .

The observer notes that "the Iraqi government will be cautious in dealing with this thorny issue, which can not postpone consideration under the pressure exerted by extremist currents in the loyalty to Iran, such as the movement of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, whose leader tries to put it spearhead to defend Iran in the face of the United States After he and a number of members of his movement were classified as terrorists . "

The observer believes that "Iran is expected to start implementing the worst case scenario if the United States decided to complete the economic sanctions by a military strike, which prompted the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed Jawad Zarif to visit Iraq and offer options to block the strike," according to the London-based Arabic newspaper.

The US position came in response to efforts by Iraqi political parties close to Iran to legislate a parliamentary law that requires the government to ask all foreign forces, including the United States, to leave Iraq by 2020 .

But observers believe that the government can circumvent any legislation passed by the House of Representatives in that regard by returning to the security treaty that allows Iraq to seek help from the United States to counter terrorism. Pompeo may have urged the Iraqi government to do so during his recent visit .

Observers believe that if the United States fails to dissuade Iraq from enacting a law to remove foreign forces, it will have to consolidate its military presence on Iraqi soil in Erbil, and nearby Kurdish areas .

Iraqi lawmakers bend to Iran, plan to expel foreign troops from Iraq

FacebookTwitterGoogle+EmailWhatsApp

 

Iraqi parliament

Amid fears of the return of ISIS to Iraq as terroristic explosions are still ongoing in many Iraqi provinces, al-Binna'a Coalition MP Mansour Al-Baiji revealed that the law to expel foreign troops from Iraqi territory will be finalized soon.

 

The US troops have been present in Iraq to help Iraqi security authorities secure provinces fromISIS and terror militias' attacks.

Baiji asserted in a press statement that most of political blocs will vote on this law to protect the sovereignty of Iraq.

The law will include evacuating all military bases belonging to foreign troops in Iraq, he said, adding that the law was drafted by military experts and commanders.

How it started

Ali al-Sunaid, a leader of Haider al-Abadi's Al-Nasr Alliance, said that Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi wants to remove foreign troops from the country.

"Abd al-Mahdi will abide by security agreements with all countries according to the security requirements of the country, and will work to remove all foreign troops from Iraqi territories, after completing the formation of the cabinet," Sunaid said in a press statement.

He added that one of the priorities of Abd al-Mahdi is to maintain the sovereignty of the country and not to allow foreign control of the security situation, and put a timetable for the expulsion of those forces, adding that the [local] security forces are capable of maintaining security and protecting the borders of the country.

Pretext on table

Just one day after Christmas, Trump and his wife Melania arrived in Baghdad to visit the US troops serving in the region, which is his first such visit since taking office in January 2017. The visit has angered many Shiite parties who are believed to be loyal to Iran, considering the visit as "violating diplomatic norms."

Subsequently, head of the Shiite Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq Qais al-Khazali voiced condemnation of the visit, threatening to expel the US troops from Iraq either by law or by another method.

"The response of the Iraqis will be [translated to a] decision of the Parliament to remove your military forces in spite of you and if you do not come out, we have the experience and the ability to remove them in another way known by your forces who were humiliated and forced to get out in 2011," Khazali stated.

Plan on track

Earlier in January, Sadiqun movement's MP Ahmed Kanani affirmed the importance of speeding up efforts to issue the legislation to expel the foreign troops from Iraq.

"These forces will stay longer inside the country, which poses a lot of questions and doubts," Kanani said.

The Parliament's security and defense committee said that the plan to remove the US combat troops from the country does not include a timetable.
