Will "Katyushas" attend the strategic dialogue between Al-Kazemi and Trump? Mustafa Al-Kazemi

 

A A Khaled Jean Sees - In recent days, there has been a marked increase in targeting the supplies of the International Coalition and the American bases in Iraq, the most recent of which, on Saturday, included three attacks, the first of which was the fall of two Katyusha rockets on the Taji base, and the second the explosion of a cartel charge of vehicles transporting coalition equipment within the administrative boundaries of Dhi Qar governorate, and the third the explosion of a device with a vehicle A convoy of companies contracting with the coalition forces on the highway linking Basra and Dhi Qar provinces The intensity of the attacks against US interests in Iraq reflects the determination of the responsible party to continue the confrontation and push the American and coalition forces to leave Iraq in one way or another. It also raises questions about the reluctance of the United States and the Iraqi government to deter these attacks. The Security Media Cell no longer makes a great effort to follow up the Katyusha rockets that rain on Baghdad and its suburbs on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. A brief statement of a few lines saying that one, two or three rockets fell on the perimeter of the Green Zone, Baghdad airport, or Camp Taji without any losses. The only addition is where those mobile platforms were launched from. The last three missiles that fell on the military wing in the vicinity of Baghdad airport were launched this time from the Radwaniyah area, west of Baghdad, and this is happening for the first time since the launch of these missiles. Over the past months, most of these missiles were launched from eastern or southern Baghdad. The escalation of attacks hints at a new strategy for the pro-Iranian Iraqi militias that launch these attacks, perhaps making us witness a greater phase of escalation in the future, especially after the missile attacks caused the withdrawal of US forces from 7 military sites and bases throughout Iraq over the past months, as part of the relocation . why now? Observers believe that the high rate of launching these missiles comes less than a week before the expected visit of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to the United States on the 20th of this month, to discuss several joint files, including the future of the American presence in Iraq, while MPs, politicians and militia leaders are still close to Iran. They are exerting pressure on the Iraqi government to expedite the removal of American forces. As for the messages that Katyusha rockets can represent, the strategic expert, Dr. Moataz Muhyiddin, head of the Republican Center for Political and Security Studies, says, “The Katyusha groups have succeeded in feeling the pulse of the government and its reaction to the missiles that it launched during the last period in Baghdad and the vicinity of Baghdad and other places coincided. With a new vision for the Iraqi government on its ability to stop such operations ». And he indicated that «there appears to be an integrated project among the armed groups regarding the method and mechanism of targeting places, starting from the headquarters of the US embassy to the rest of the places and other camps». He explained that «this issue will be one of the important points from my point of view during the talks that the Prime Minister will hold next week in Washington when discussing the issue of the American withdrawal and how to protect those who remain from these forces or the US embassy, and therefore a common vision must be formed to protect these headquarters between the two sides. Iraqi and American in this field ». Mohieddin pointed out that "this issue worries Al-Kazemi about the difficulty of finding a security or political solution during this stage for this complex file." The Iraqi blocs hinted that Al-Kazemi would hold accountable if the issue of the American withdrawal from Iraq was not raised during his visit to Washington, as the independent representative of the Shiite component Qusay Al-Shabaki confirmed that Al-Kazemi is obligated to present the file of withdrawing US forces from Iraq during his visit to Washington, indicating that Parliament will hold him accountable upon his return in case he does not Bring up that file. For his part, a member of parliament for the “Al-Fateh” coalition (the political wing of the Popular Mobilization Forces), Fadel Al-Fatlawi, said that Al-Kazemi's seriousness in preserving sovereignty and removing American forces from the country “will become clear during his visit to the United States, which is expected to take place on the twentieth of this month,” indicating that the House of Representatives will continue to follow Because of the agreements to be made during the visit. Parliament voted, at the beginning of this year, on a resolution obligating the government to remove the American forces, against the background of the killing of the commander of the "Quds Force" of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani, and the deputy head of the "Popular Mobilization", Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, in an American strike near Baghdad International Airport. What is expected from Al-Kazemi's visit? Al-Kazemi places high hopes on visiting the United States, especially after the failure of his visit to Tehran, and its failure to bring about a change in the paths of political, security and economic processes in Iraq. Observers believe that "Al-Kazemi will try to obtain American aid and investments that will lift his country from suffocating crises, most of which are economically oriented, which his government can no longer confront, such as the chronic electricity crisis, the Corona pandemic, and help in controlling security that leads to an increase in the demand of American investors on the Iraqi market." . They pointed out that "Al-Kazemi will try to pressure the American side to accept compromises with Iran, and to reduce the severity of the sanctions imposed on it." It is not in the interest of Iraq to incline all inclination to one side and the other side to be hostile. All the conditions in Iraq are tragic and do not bear pressure from any party. Observers believe that Al-Kazemi will work during his visit to the United States to create a state of international and regional balance in Iraq.
