Political expert Walid Fares revealed that the union of all Iraqi components will contribute to putting an end to Iran's hand on the country.


Fares said in a tweet on "Twitter", that "if the Shiite movement wins, all parties will enjoy their rights, and therefore the Kurdish and Sunni Arab constituents must express their solidarity with nonviolent peaceful moves in order to produce this required image regionally and internationally."

"This will give the Trump administration and the friends of Iraq in Europe and the Arab world the ability to support this uprising, internationalize the issue of disarming the militias, stop Iran from controlling Iraq, and unite all Iraqi components despite the painful past," he added.

Strategic expert, Bassel Hussein, emphasized that the United States of America will eliminate Iran militarily, diplomatically and economically.


Hussein told Al-Ikhbaria that the US strategy towards Iran is based on the principle of "maximum pressure" represented by the military, economic and diplomatic.

He explained that "military deterrence will be through the deployment of more forces, and to show the United States' resolve to respond to any serious threat to its interests, and the killing of Soleimani was one of the most important messages of deterrence."

He added that "the economic sanctions that America will establish will aim to stifle Iran and make its economy weak and feeble, while creating a repressive Iranian popular climate."

He explained that "diplomatic isolation will be through continuous pressure on its allies on the one hand and pressure on Iran, who committed to commit more mistakes that increase its isolation."

Legal expert, Ali al-Tamimi, stressed that the continuation of excessive violence against demonstrators would place Iraq under international guardianship.


Al-Tamimi told Al-Ikhbaria that "the condemnation by 16 countries of excessive violence against demonstrators will mark the gradual start of international sanctions with the presence of 3 countries including permanent members of the Security Council and others in the European Union. It is noted that these countries from all continents and this may constitute a pressure on The United Nations to submit the matter to the Security Council, as the violence violates Articles 2 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 22 of the Charter of the International Covenant, signed by Iraq.

He explained that "continuing this repression, especially after the condemnation of Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Iraq, exposes Iraq to the sanctions stipulated in Articles 39 to 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, which begin, warn and end with the international trusteeship."

He added, "These crimes do not drop by statute of limitations and do not exempt chiefs from criminal responsibility in accordance with articles 48 of the Penal Code, 24 of the Military Penal Code and 52 of the Internal Security Forces law ... Iraqi ... and they do not fall out of statute of limitations or the lapse of time according to Article 28 of the Criminal Court Law." International. "

And it shows that "this is genocide, according to the 1948 Genocide Prevention Agreement signed by Iraq. In addition, it will attack the embassies according to the 1961 diplomatic relations and embassy protection agreement."

The Ministry of Electricity confirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is still exempt from the US sanctions imposed on Iran, indicating that the Iranian side is currently pumping nearly 3 million cubic feet out of the agreed amount of 25 million cubic feet.

US stops all weapon deliveries to Iraq, citing security concerns – Air Force spokesman


28 Jan, 2020 01:02

All US deliveries of weapons and ammunition to Iraqi security forces have been suspended, amid rising tensions over US presence in Iraq that followed the drone assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad.

The halt includes the US Air Force’s program of supplying parts and missiles to Iraq’s fleet of F-16 fighter-bombers, the news portal Inside Defense reported on Monday. Deliveries will begin again “when the environment in Iraq is safe enough to resume,” USAF spokesman Brian Brackens told Inside Defense in an email.

Brackens is the spokesman for USAF’s Life Cycle Management Center, a procurement and logistics organization based at the Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. 

A contract to supply Iraq with $1.8 billion worth of weapons, including the air-to-air Sidewinder and ground-attack Maverick missiles, was signed in May 2016. The last delivery before the halt was made on November 14, according to the subscription-only portal, which says it specializes in news about Pentagon programs, procurement and policy-making.

Iraqi armed forces were rebuilt around US weapons and doctrines after the 2003 invasion and occupation by the US-led coalition. They proved woefully inadequate when facing Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorists in 2014, but have since managed to liberate most of Iraq from the group’s control, though with thousands of US troops in “advise and assist” capacity.

Just last week, the Iraqi defense ministry posted a video of an air strike by its F-16s against IS targets in the Hamrin Mountains.

Continued US presence in Iraq has come into question over the past month, however, following the January 3 drone strike outside the Baghdad international airport that killed General Qassem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. While the US considers the IRGC a terrorist organization, Soleimani was a key figure in the program that supported Shia militias in Iraq and Syria against IS.

After Soleimani’s killing, the Iraqi parliament adopted a resolution demanding that US troops leave the country. Washington has flat-out refused.

"There are no plans by the US military to withdraw from Iraq," Assistant to the Secretary of Defense Jonathan Rath Hoffman told reporters at a press briefing earlier this month, adding that “the consensus in Iraq seems to be that the United States forces there are a force for good,” even though the parliament’s resolution suggests the exact opposite.

In the meantime, Iran launched ballistic missiles at two US bases in Iraq in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing. Officially, no US or Iraqi troops died in the January 8 strikes. While initial reports denied any injuries either, some three dozen US troops have since been referred to hospitals for concussions and other traumatic brain injuries.

Hassan Salem: The peaceful demonstrations achieved a lot, but they were penetrated by the infiltrators

 

Hassan Salem: The peaceful demonstrations achieved a lot, but they were penetrated by the infiltrators

The construction alliance deputy, Hassan Salem, said, “The peaceful demonstrations achieved a lot, but they were penetrated by the infiltrators.”

Salem explained to the program (very close) broadcast by the satellite TV station Al-Furat, that "peaceful demonstrations are a right guaranteed by the constitution, and the security services have a duty to protect them. To change the law of the parliamentary elections." He pointed out that "it was penetrated by the infiltrators, and what is happening from sabotage operations came to create chaos, cut the livelihood of citizens, blackmail merchants and distort the image of demonstrations in Baghdad and the provinces."

Salem added, "The security services are confused about the government's imposition of non-guns and appeals to citizens to protect them from infiltrators and saboteurs." He stressed that "there is a lot of money poured into these saboteurs from foreign intelligence to deflect demonstrations, the failure of political parties and confusing political work contributed to creating chaos." He pointed out, "We are partners in this ordeal and it hurts the question of Iraqi blood, and we reject all abuse of our children; but these infiltrators and saboteurs are the ones who carry out the killings and the burning."


Salem concluded by saying, "All the rumors are raised against the popular crowd, including standing by and watching what happens to the demonstrators, and they themselves did not allow these forces to protect them," calling for "stay away from this sedition to preserve the country."

House chairman says Pompeo agreed to testify on Iran

House chairman says Pompeo agreed to testify on Iran


 

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has agreed to testify about Iran before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the committee’s chairman said Tuesday, following weeks of effort to bring Pompeo before the panel.

“I spoke with Secretary Pompeo today who has committed to appearing before the Foreign Affairs Committee to testify at a hearing on Iran, Iraq, war powers and related topics—separate from our annual budget hearing,” Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said in a statement Tuesday. “I will announce a date for this hearing soon.”

The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Friday, Engel invited Pompeo to appear before the committee Wednesday after he missed an earlier hearing on Iran while he was on an official trip to California.

In inviting Pompeo, Engel warned he was “prepared to use all legal means to ensure [his] attendance.”

Following Engel’s conversation with Pompeo, Wednesday’s hearing has now been postponed.

The committee has been requesting Pompeo testify at an open hearing following weeks of spiking tensions that brought the United States and Iran to the brink of war, and amid shifting explanations from the Trump administration on the justification for the U.S. drone strike that brought the confrontation to the brink.

Engel first invited Pompeo to a hearing in early January, but two days later the State Department announced Pompeo would be taking an official trip to California that overlapped with the hearing.

In his letter to Pompeo on Friday, Engel said the hearing is meant to allow the administration to clarify its legal and policy justifications for the drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, as well as why the administration believes its so-called maximum pressure campaign against Iran will bring Tehran back to the negotiating table.

The committee would also like to ask about the future of U.S. efforts against ISIS after the Soleimani strike, Engel said. The strike, which took place on Iraqi soil, prompted officials in Baghdad to call for a U.S. troop withdrawal.

A trio of State Departments briefed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on U.S. policy toward Iran behind closed doors Tuesday. Democrats emerging from the briefing said it contained no new information clarifying the administration’s justification for the Soleimani strike.
