Al-Sadr: The bombing of Erbil airport and others doubled the number of "occupation forces" instead of forcing them to withdraw

Baghdad / NINA / - The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, confirmed that the bombing of Erbil airport led to a doubling of the number of "occupation forces" instead of forcing them to withdraw from the country, indicating that there are beneficiaries from the presence of foreign forces in Iraq.

Al-Sadr said during his meeting with the political body of the Sadrist movement, and representatives of the Sairoon bloc, today, Sunday in Al-Hanana, that “if the Sadrist movement besieged the Green Zone in order to release (so-and-so prisoner), if we were the ones who bombed the airports of Erbil and Baghdad and some headquarters, the occupation would have become (a prophet). ) of the prophets, and they classified us as terrorists, and moved planes and tanks against us.”

The leader of the Sadrist movement pointed out that the bombing of Erbil caused an increase in the number of foreign forces in the country instead of forcing them to withdraw, saying: "What did the bombing of Erbil airport and others achieve, except that the occupation forces added 4,000 soldiers, instead of what he wanted to withdraw."

He added: "There is a beneficiary from the presence of the occupation, and if these forces leave, they will lose their livelihood, for these people have their sustenance with politics and without politics they become (zero), as well as some others whose bridle is the resistance because they are zero without resistance," adding, "If this is real resistance in the first place."

And the leader of the Sadrist movement continued: "If the Sadrist movement defended a corrupt from among our corrupt, did the world not rise and not sit? If we were the ones who crucified in the jump or other during the previous reform demonstrations in 2016, what would have happened? I imagine that at least an alliance will be formed A new international community, so that we can be classified as terrorists,” adding that “if we threatened to burn the ballot boxes, and that there would be no elections at all, we would have become enemies of democracy and freedom.”

Al-Sadr directed those present at the meeting to “follow the reform trend, and a path that does not involve normalization.”/ End 9

US report: Resistance strikes embarrass Biden and put him under Republican pressure

 

A report by the American newspaper Politico stated, on Sunday, that US President Joe Biden is under intense pressure from Republicans to respond to the attacks of the resistance factions in Iraq and Syria, at a time when he appears determined to move away from decades of American wars in the Middle East .

The report stated that the attacks of the resistance factions on the US forces increased the pressure on the US president, as a number of Republicans criticized his approach as insufficient and ineffective .

He added, "This conflict is testing Biden's determination to move away from the decades of American war in the Middle East so that his administration can focus on ending the epidemic and directing relations toward Russia and China, which threatens the work of Congress this year on reducing the president's authority to launch air strikes in the region ."

He continued, "Biden's growing headache is also one of the familiar problems as he has watched three successive US presidents before him continue to fight seemingly endless wars in the region using open congressional mandates ."

And while Republicans stress that the current situation is unsustainable, Biden's Democratic allies object that the president does not have the authority to launch offensive strikes against resistance factions without first seeking congressional approval. They say the president is acting within his Article II powers under the Constitution to defend American service members .”

For his part, Democratic Senator Van Hollen, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said, “These actions in Iraq and Syria are very different from any kind of attack on Iran .

The report noted that “the attacks launched by the Biden administration on the resistance factions have had little effect even as his administration asserts that the strikes were intended to deter future attacks, risking further exacerbation of tensions with Iraq, which condemned the air raid last June on Iraqi soil.” As a flagrant violation of national sovereignty, according to a number of reports, Washington is facing pressure from the Iraqi government to withdraw from the country.

They urge Biden not to abandon Syria and Iraq

Under the above title, Igor Sobotin wrote, in the "Nezavisimaya Gazeta", about what could lead to the intensification of attacks against American positions in Syria and Iraq.

The article stated: American soldiers were bombed again in the eastern part of Syria outside of official Damascus control. And the operation, which targeted an American site near an oil field in Deir ez-Zor, constituted a link in a series of attacks on American sites in the Middle East in recent weeks. The Americans hold the irregular Shiite formations, believed to be under Iranian control, responsible for the attacks.

This situation caused a heated debate in Congress about the need to maintain the powers that allow the executive branch to strike targets in Syria and Iraq. President Joseph Biden's approach, which permits the use of "absolute minimal" force, has been complained about by the Republican Party.

Biden's party comrades argue that the president has no right to strike Iranian-backed forces without prior congressional approval. In June, Democratic Party representatives introduced a bill to repeal the authorization to use military force in Iraq passed in 2002, which lawmakers say has lost its necessity because the war in Iraq is over; Some of them see the need to review the 2001 resolution on combating terrorism.

While other members of the Democratic Party see the confrontation between US forces and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq and Syria as a small war, the limited use of force makes sense; They urge Biden to consider the need for official congressional authorization to continue strikes against Shiite irregulars in the Middle East, and only if the White House master himself is confident that such an approach will adequately deter Tehran and its ambitions in the region. So far, neither limited US operations nor even Israeli air strikes have helped eliminate the threat.

In a meeting in Iraq, an Iranian military commander calls for escalation against US forces

 

Wednesday, July 14, 2021 - 02:00

US forces in Iraq and Syria were attacked several times following the visit of an Iranian delegation led by Hussein Taeb The intelligence chief of the Revolutionary Guards, which came after US air strikes against armed factions backed by Iran on the border Syrian-Iraqi on June 27.

Dialogue between Washington and Baghdad at a "crossroads"

Sharp intersections between Al-Kazemi and the Biden administration regarding dealing with armed factions

Wednesday - 4 Dhul-Hijjah 1442 AH - 14 July 2021 AD, Issue No. [15569]

 

 

Mustafa Al-Kazemi (Reuters)

Baghdad: «Middle East»

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi is facing a difficult situation with his American negotiators in the expected fourth round of the strategic dialogue, against the background of the field escalation imposed by the armed factions in Iraq, in contrast to his situation in the previous round.

 Al-Kazemi is supposed to meet an American invitation to visit Washington to meet President Joe Biden, at the end of July,  while Iraqi sources confirm that the visit will include holding the fourth round of the strategic dialogue between the two countries, observers believe that the negotiations will be at a "crossroads".

 According to Western diplomats who spoke to Asharq Al-Awsat, decision-makers in Washington are no longer "convinced that Al-Kazemi's method is sufficient to stabilize stability", including ensuring the flow of the agreed withdrawal schedule.

 And last April, a political advisor at the US Embassy in Baghdad commented to Asharq Al-Awsat on the outcomes of the third round of the strategic dialogue, that Baghdad is making good efforts in combating the negative influence of Iran, but “it has to do a lot to curb its agents in the country.” ».

Observers believe that the recent American raid, which targeted a camp affiliated with the "Popular Mobilization" on the Syrian border, practically reflects the moment of American boredom with Al-Kazemi's containment policy against the factions.

 And weeks before Al-Kazemi's visit, the sharp intersection between the Iraqi and American points of view may make it difficult for the upcoming round of dialogue, especially since the Americans "want to see bolder Iraqi actions."

Actors in the American decision circles expect that Al-Kazemi, under the pressure of tension in his country, will request an acceleration of the withdrawal, which is "something that the Iraqi prime minister will obtain if he insists," according to the same sources.

The strategic dialogue between Washington and Baghdad faces obstacles and disagreements

 

Wednesday - 4 Dhul-Hijjah 1442 AH - 14 July 2021 AD, Issue No. [15569]

 

 

Mustafa Al-Kazemi (Reuters)

Baghdad: «Middle East»

Contrary to his position in the third round, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi is facing a difficult situation with his American negotiators in the fourth round of the strategic dialogue, against the background of the field escalation imposed by the armed factions in Iraq.
Al-Kazemi is supposed to meet an American invitation to visit Washington to meet President Joe Biden, at the end of July, while Iraqi diplomatic sources confirm that the visit "will include completing the strategic dialogue with a fourth round" between the two countries. In the third round last April, Washington and Baghdad agreed to end the presence of US combat forces, and limit the tasks of the remaining units (about 3,200 elements) to training Iraqi forces.
And when the previous round was held, the two sides agreed to support Al-Kazemi’s path in “containing the factions” at political and field borders that prevent escalation, but everything changed later and the American and Iraqi tracks parted.
According to Western diplomats, who spoke to Asharq Al-Awsat, decision makers in Washington are no longer “convinced that Al-Kazemi’s method is sufficient to stabilize stability,” including ensuring the agreed-upon withdrawal schedule, noting that “a wing of the American administration did not miss opportunities to clarify The importance of deterrence, without that implying the use of force against them.”

 

 

Al-Kazemi has always shown his strong tendency to avoid internal confrontation, whether between the government and the factions or between the political wings, but this context has become the subject of severe criticism directed at the prime minister at the height of tension. Last month, Al-Kazemi called, from the Belgian capital, Brussels, both Tehran and Washington to move their clash out of the Iraqi arena.
The policy of open deterrence against the Iraqi factions does not enjoy unanimity in the US decision-making circles, except that its supporters have a strong influence on the administration of President Biden, such as his adviser Brett McGurk, and the senior officers of the Pentagon. Even Washington, according to Iraqi officials, does not want to open a wide war front, but rather wants to deter the attacks of the factions, which may become "more severe and harsh" if Americans fall into the attacks of the factions.
Last April, a political advisor at the US Embassy in Baghdad commented to Asharq Al-Awsat on the outcomes of the third round of the strategic dialogue, that the Iraqi government is making good efforts in combating the negative influence of Iran, but “it has to do a lot to curb its proxies in the country.”
In fact, the recent American raid that targeted a camp affiliated with the "Popular Mobilization" on the Iraqi-Syrian border, practically reflects the moment of American boredom with Al-Kazemi's containment policy against the factions.
At that time, the Iraqi reaction was disappointed by the American raid, because the atmosphere within the Iraqi government believed that the attack coincided with a difficult settlement between the government and a number of faction leaders regarding the truce. And weeks before Al-Kazemi's visit, the sharp intersection between the two Iraqi views may make it difficult for the upcoming round of strategic dialogue; Especially since the Americans "want to see bolder Iraqi actions." Actors in the American decision circles are circulating proactive and remarkable data about the features of the new round of dialogue with Iraq, as their expectations indicate that Al-Kazemi, under the pressure of tension in his country, may request an acceleration of the withdrawal from Iraq, which is what the Americans say: “He (Al-Kazemi) He will get what he wants, if he insists on it.”
This path, which is no longer new in Washington, coincides with the state of American boredom with the Iraqi file, which has always jumped to the top of the American agenda as far as the threat of ISIS or the negative influence of Iran in Iraq is concerned.
Senior Iraqi sources quoted a former US official in the administration of US President Donald Trump, who is close to the current administration, as saying that “Washington cannot do things on their behalf (Iraq) ... they need to do the task, and then we will help them, but as long as it is not There is a will, so we will leave eventually.” These data impose on Al-Kazemi’s government an exceptional response to the “bored” American variable from Iraq, coinciding with a tense internal situation, in a task that seems complex and arduous a few months before the Iraqi elections.

Iranian commander said to encourage escalation against US forces in Iraq

Revolutionary Guards intelligence chief Hossein Taeb reportedly pushed Shi’ite militias to step up attacks on American targets, a message they apparently heeded

Visiting Baghdad last week, a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander urged Iraqi Shi’ite militias to increase their attacks on United States targets, Reuters reported Tuesday, quoting multiple Iraqi sources.

A senior official in the region told the news agency that Revolutionary Guards intelligence chief Hossein Taeb led a delegation that met several Iraqi militia leaders and conveyed “the [Iranian] supreme leader’s message to them about keeping up pressure on US forces in Iraq until they leave the region.”

Several militia sources were quoted as saying that the Iranians advised them to increase their attacks against US forces but not to go too far, to avoid a serious escalation.

 

Indeed, in the days following the meeting, Reuters reported, US forces in both Iraq and Syria reported an increase in attacks against them.

The US has blamed Iran-backed militia groups for previous attacks, most of them rocket attacks that have targeted the American presence in Baghdad and military bases across Iraq.

 

The attacks have been increasingly frequent since a US-directed drone strike killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani near the Baghdad airport last year. Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed in the attack.

The strike drew the ire of mostly Shiite Iraqi lawmakers and prompted parliament to pass a non-binding resolution to pressure the Iraqi government to oust foreign troops from the country.

Thousands of Iran-backed militiamen from around the Middle East are also deployed in different parts of Syria, many of them in areas along the border with Iraq.

 

Iran-backed fighters have joined President Bashar Assad’s forces in Syria’s 10-year conflict. Their presence helped tip the balance of power in Assad’s favor.

The Reuters report came as Iran has engaged in talks with world powers in Vienna on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.

The agreement, which limited Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for international sanctions relief, has been on life support since former US president Donald Trump withdrew from it in 2018 and reimposed sanctions.

Tehran and Washington have held indirect negotiations in the Austrian capital since early April.

Iran and the US have had no diplomatic relations since 1980, and tensions between them worsened during Trump’s tenure.

US-led coalition discusses challenges in Iraq and Syria - exclusive

Among the challenges that the US face in their ongoing efforts against ISIS are continuing drone and rocket attacks likely carried out by pro-Iranian militias.

 

The US-led coalition that is continuing efforts against ISIS has faced new challenges in Iraq and Syria in recent months. Among these are continuing drone and rocket attacks likely carried out by pro-Iranian militias. In early July, the attacks were taking place several times a week and had expanded to include threats to US forces in Syria.

 

US-led coalition spokesperson Wayne Marotto discussed the challenges with The Jerusalem Post by correspondence. He emphasizes that the coalition – officially called the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve – is in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government.

 

“The mission of CJTF-OIR is to defeat Daesh [ISIS] in designated areas of Iraq and Syria in conjunction with our partner forces (the ISF [Iraqi Security Forces], Peshmerga and SDF [Syrian Democratic Forces]) and to set conditions for follow-on operations to increase regional stability,” Marotto said.

 

In 2020, the US and its partners consolidated the facilities they use in Iraq. This occurred as rocket fire increased. Facilities at Taji, Q-West south of Mosul and K-1 near Kirkuk were handed to Iraqi security forces; US forces are now located only in a few places, such as Asad base, Union III in Baghdad near the embassy and at Erbil International Airport. Beyond that, there are some contractors at Balad airbase.

 

“The relatively small number of US forces that remain in Iraq advise, equip and assist Iraqi forces, who now lead the fight against Daesh [ISIS],” Marotto points out. “The mission of the coalition remains – defeat Daesh and its remnants in designated portions of Iraq and Syria.

 

“A year ago, there were over 5,000 US troops in Iraq. Today there are 2,500,” he said. “The drawdown has not affected the mission, because the ISF has taken the lead in the fight against Daesh.”

 

 

IN RECENT months, rocket and drone attacks have increased.

 

“We remain concerned about the actions of outlaw militia groups – and the recent attacks are a significant distraction from the defeat-Daesh mission. All capabilities in theater remain flexible to support increased force protection of coalition troops as necessary, based on threat streams,” says Marotto. These groups are accused of training regional proxies to attack the US while it is working with the coalition to fight ISIS.

 

“Ensuring the safety of coalition personnel is the highest priority for Lt.-Gen. Paul Calvert, commanding general, CJTF-OIR,” he said. “We regularly review and evaluate the safety, security and operations of the Iraqi facilities where the coalition is colocated.” The coalition can’t elaborate further on its method of force protection.

 

“Each attack against the government of Iraq, Kurdistan Region of Iraq and the coalition undermines the authority of Iraqi institutions, the rule of law and Iraqi National sovereignty,” says Marotto. The US and coalition forces have said they have the right to defend themselves.

 

“The coalition will take necessary and appropriate measures to defend US/coalition personnel and our partner forces in the region,” he said.

 

The coalition does not discuss the recent airstrikes carried out against these “outlaw militia groups” in Syria. Two rounds of airstrikes have been reported so far in response to attacks in February and June.

 

Recent threats have included increased use of drones by the pro-Iranian militias. Some of these drones have been displayed in parades. The head of Central Command, Gen. Frank McKenzie has warned about the increasing role of small drones being used as threats in the region.

 

“Coalition air defense systems, C-RAM [Counter rocket, artillery and mortar], Patriot batteries and our other radars are good at seeing the larger objects,” Marotto said. “The smaller drone is a problem. But the US Department of Defense is implementing a variety of means to counter the UAS [unmanned aircraft systems].”

 

Of particular interest, he notes that the US Marines have a new type of weapon to defend against drone threats. “The Dronebuster is a hand-held jammer that can force a UAS to descend or to return to its operator. If a drone is positively identified, a Marine standing on post can point the device at the drone and eliminate it as a threat.” Another system, dubbed CLaWS (Compact Laser Weapon System), “gives the coalition a dynamic defense against attack drones.”

 

ANOTHER KEY objective of the coalition in Iraq and Syria lies in the fight against ISIS. The worldwide jihadist organization once controlled 110,000 sq. km. and ruled eight million people, but today is “territorially defeated.”

 

However, Marotto stressed that today, “Daesh remains a capable and dangerous threat. It remains intent on regrouping and carrying out attacks.” This includes recent attacks on electricity pylons, including against 44 or 45 electricity towers last week.

 

In response, the coalition and Iraq’s partnership is key to continue the fight against ISIS through a variety of security objectives, including working together on “counterterrorism, biosecurity, border security and defense institution building.” At the same time, the Iraqi Security Forces have “moved into the lead” of the fight as the coalition moves to a support role, including training, advising, intelligence and surveillance – but a drawdown of forces in direct combat.

 

In addition, according to Marotto, Operation Inherent Resolve, the US military’s operational name for international military intervention against ISIS, has trained over 220,000 Iraqi security personnel since 2014. The training facilities are today under full control of the government of Iraq for the ISF to train themselves.

 

In Syria, the fight against ISIS includes working with partner forces, including the SDF under UN Security Council Resolution 2254. Marotto “thank[ed] the SDF for their sacrifices” and stressed that in Syria, “there is no truth to the disinformation that the US is stealing oil or wheat in northeast Syria.”
