On Friday, a deputy from the Saeron Alliance described the foreign and oil portfolios as "the biggest problem" for the remaining ministries, indicating that it is easy to pass the rest of the ministries because there are no deep problems around them.

"The prime minister-designate has accomplished the most important stage by passing the government cabinet and is in a position of strength and outside the political pressure zone," MP Riyadh Al-Masoudi said in an interview with Alsumaria News, explaining that "the ball today is in the political forces arena to complete the remaining bags."

 

He explained that "Al-Kazemi pledged before the House of Representatives that he would be the candidate of the Ministry of Oil from Basra Governorate and leave the option for its representatives to enter the province's representatives by the neck of the bottle and in a big problem," noting that the position "has become a great challenge for the deputies of the province in order to resolve it by appropriate methods."

Al-Masoudi expected that "the Kurdish forces deal wisely with the issue and work to provide another candidate for him to be passed into the parliament dome," stressing that "the biggest problem today is with my foreign and oil bags, but the remaining bags can be passed easily and quickly because they are specific to certain components."

And he considered that "the difference over these ministries was on some names only," stressing that "

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi parliament voted on the night of the sixth of May, the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, while he refused to vote on five ministers, and Al-Kazemi postponed the selection of the foreign and oil ministers.

Al-Amiri and Al-Ghban demanding Washington's support for Baghdad, and differences threaten the "conquest" with collapse

 

 ۱۵ May ۲۰۲۰

---

Agencies

Sharp differences emerge within the largest Iraqi political alliances supported by # Iran , which is the "conquest" coalition, which includes several important political blocs, most notably " # Badr ", "honest", "sanad", and "Ataa".

All of these armed wings operate within the "body # Alhacd_alhobei ," According to press sources quoted by media Gulf, that disagreements about the nature of dealing with the US presence file and the continued escalation against # Washington in Iraq, as well as the issue of granting an opportunity for the government # Mstefy_alkazemi to work on the transit country to Post-early elections .

And appeared last Friday, the first signs of the dispute that were clear in the head of the "conquest" bloc in Parliament, MP Mohammed al-Ghabban, who carried an unusually calm speech, dealing with the political scene in #Iraq .

Al-Ghabban called the United States to give Iraq what he described as "the priority in support and assistance", in a new language that is completely different from the threat and attack data on Washington by the Iranian-backed coalition.

After this statement, representatives and representatives from within the coalition responded, saying that their stance is dogmatic with regard to the United States, and that "the Islamic resistance and America are harmful and do not meet."

According to political sources from within the "Al-Fath" coalition, the "divisions that surfaced during the past days are between each of the" Badr "bloc led by # Hadi_Al-Amri on the one hand, and the" Sadiqun "and" Sanad "blocs on the other hand, and are supported by factions in their position An armed woman known as the term "state", in reference to being linked to the office of the Iranian guide # Ali_Khamenei ».

The differences center on Amiri’s desire “to avoid escalation with Washington, and to postpone any political confrontation at the present time with regard to the American presence in Iraq, to add to previous disagreements about seeing coalition components to support the Kazemi government or not.”

As for Saad Al Saadi, a leader in the “Al- Asaib ” movement led by Qais Al-Khazali , he stated in press statements that “what happened is a natural matter, and every party or person has a certain political orientation, but everyone agrees on an important thing, which is the necessity of removing the American forces from Iraq.” ».

Al-Saadi considered that "Al-Ghabban was betrayed by the expression in his statement, and all forces in the conquest bear one view towards the United States, which is not to seek help from Washington, and it has not provided any assistance to Iraq over the past years, and this position is stable and will not change, and all the forces of the conquest coalition are consistent. on him".

Observers believe that "the Al-Fateh coalition is fragile from the beginning, as it was not based on a clear program or objective vision in reading events and their future, and for this reason we see that there is a clear disintegration of this alliance."

American messages that "Iran" receive cautiously and suspiciously, and the emergence of the role of "Al-Kazemi" between the two sides!

Friday, May 15, 2020 

 

 

Baghdad / Sky Press

There is optimism about the role that Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi may play, particularly in the part related to calming the existing conflict in the region between the American and Iranian camps, and the possibility of withdrawing this to other capitals in the region.

 Likewise, there are those who bet on strengthening Iraq’s relations with its neighbors, by creating a partnership with its surroundings. The next stage, according to some, will be imposed on the countries of the region, that is, after Corona, to search for participants that contribute to developing their economies.

This scene is due to the moment when Washington assassinated the deputy head of the PMF Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Qassem Soleimani, and their comrades, at the beginning of this year, in the vicinity of Baghdad International Airport.

 Detailed prompted Tehran to restore its approach to the Iraqi file, in more words than a diplomatic source, in addition to the part related to the confrontation with the American forces there.

Washington, and by expressing an imminent and imminent withdrawal from Mesopotamia, and setting a date for the start of the strategic dialogue between Washington and Baghdad next June, he considered an initiative in Tehran to be scrutinized, and it could be built upon in light of the global developments the Corona pandemic and the collapse of oil prices, in parallel with receiving The Iranian side, through more than one approved mediator, messages about Washington's readiness to turn the page on the past and start a new page.

Tehran grabbed the messages with caution, suspicion and suspense; There is no excessive optimism and no pessimism, but an attempt to clarify the American intentions, before taking any position towards it, taking into consideration the approaching date of the American presidential elections, at the end of this year, and the surprises it can bear.

Here, Al-Kazemi’s role as the strongest channel of communication between the two sides stands out. For many reasons, most notably

The Iraqi arena is the battleground, as is the communication, between Washington and Tehran.

Accordingly, any prime minister will play this role in controlling the rhythm of the confrontation, to neutralize his country from the repercussions of any explosion, on the one hand, and demonstrate the ability of the president to implement his ministerial program on the other hand, one of the provisions of the Al-Kazemi program to control the existing engagement.

 

The desire of the two parties (the American and the Iranian) to enhance the presence of the Iraqi state in the next stage. Tehran's new approach calls for empowering the federal government, fearing that the scenario of the fall of Mosul in June 2014, and its repercussions for the entire region, will be repeated.

 Soleimani's absence, Tehran's strongest man in the region. It is, admittedly, behind a great void in the confrontational approach to Washington, so how can Tehran approach this challenge in the absence of a man who has been assigned this task since 2000.

Some assert that Al-Kazemi’s calculation of the American camp does not mean that he is 100 percent American. He drew wide relations with the western and Gulf administrations, and has, like him, with other and specific departments in Tehran, which he considers acceptable and not provocative. Al-Kazemi’s success in this mission means everyone’s success, and his failure will not be harmful to Tehran, which recently assessed the experience of Adel Abdul Mahdi.

These factors would constitute opportunities for the success of this initiative, and enhance the role of Al-Kazemi and his ability to contain the clash of a bomb that exploded at any moment.

And when the United States killed the leader of the "Quds Force" in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, General Qassem Soleimani, on January 3, President Donald Trump was quick to confirm that his administration was not seeking to change the Tehran regime, but according to experts in Washington, the torrent of economic sanctions imposed The Iranians, as well as the effects of the "Corona virus," are indicating quite the opposite.

According to many followers of Iranian affairs in Washington and the Pentagon in particular, it is not unlikely that we will witness a "fall" scenario.

In this context, retired general David Deptula, who served as deputy chief of staff for the Air Force for intelligence affairs in the Pentagon, says that the United States must now raise its military capabilities and put pressure to bear the price of the process of changing Iranian behavior in the region.

General Debtula, in an analysis on the conservative right-wing American Spectator website, added that the Trump administration must coordinate with European allies to prevent Tehran from transferring weapons to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as soon as possible.

In turn, Michael Makovsky, a former Pentagon official and head of the Jewish Institute for National Security in America - Jensa, believes that Washington should take advantage of the momentum given by the Soleimani liquidation and game-changing process in the Middle East and make the theory of "overthrowing the Tehran regime" the primary strategy. That should be worked on and achieved in the near future.

It is time to adopt a harsher and more aggressive military strategy toward Iran, foremost among which is preventing Iranian weapons from reaching Iraq and the hands of Iraqi groups backed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and preventing the transfer of weapons to Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, Makovsky adds in the National Interest magazine in Washington.

In this context, Makovsky continues, saying that the Iranian forces can be seriously threatened by shooting down any plane or by destroying any ballistic missile or otherwise, if it dares to launch it or its factions.

The hardline stance calling for an escalation of military pressure on Tehran, expressed by retired Gen. John Towlan, who was commander of the Marine Corps - Marines, as he called on the Trump administration not to be concerned with responding to Iraqi groups backed by Tehran, but rather directly targeting the Iranian military presence inside Iraq And eliminate it completely.

General Towlan, at the "Real Clear Defense" website, does not hesitate to say that the Pentagon should threaten Iranian targets and interests inside and outside Iran, including its Shiite groups in Iraq, such as organizations within the Popular Mobilization Forces such as the "Hezbollah Brigades" and others.
