Tishwash:  Early Warning"... Closing the US Embassy in Baghdad Will Be Followed By An Unprecedented Event.

 Member of the Parliamentary Security & Defense Committee, Mohammed Al-Shammari, warned on Friday of the "danger" of closing the US embassy in Baghdad, considering it an "early warning" of an unprecedented security event that Iraq & the region may witness.

 

Al-Shammari told Shafaq News Agency, "The closure of the US embassy is a dangerous sign & a warning that the UA & Israel may carry out a dangerous act that requires the evacuation of the embassy staff."  He stressed that "these indicators require political & security preparation within Iraq."

 

He added, "The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee is a regulatory& legislative body & it is its duty to investigate the mechanisms behind Iraq's weak defense, which is largely due to the lack of financial sovereignty."

 

He explained that "Iraq does not possess full sovereign power, because oil revenues go to the US Federal Reserve, which controls the transfer of funds to Baghdad."  He noted that "if Iraq concludes any arms contract with a country that Washington does not approve of, the US Federal Reserve will refrain from making the transfer."

 

Al-Shammari pointed out that "if the money were in Iraq's hands, its armaments, salaries & retirement would be national," adding that Not only is "sovereignty is not just air & land sovereignty, but begins with financial sovereignty."

 

Regarding the departure of US forces, Al-Shammari confirmed the existence of a binding agreement stipulating their complete withdrawal from the country by 2026, noting that "the withdrawal will be in accordance with a timetable agreed upon by both parties."

 

Earlier on Friday, the US Embassy in Iraq issued a statement to Shafaq News Agency, stating that "there has been no change to the operational status of the Embassy in Baghdad & the Consulate General in Erbil."

 

She added, "The United States is firmly committed to advancing its policy priorities in Iraq, strengthening its sovereignty, and engaging with Iraqi leaders & the Iraqi people."

 

Last week, the US Embassy in Baghdad issued a security alert warning American citizens of the increased possibility of violence or attacks against its interests in Iraq .

 

In a statement seen by Shafaq News Agency, the embassy called on all American citizens in Iraq to avoid places frequented by foreigners, in addition to avoiding large gatherings and crowds .

 

The embassy affirmed that it will continue to closely monitor the security situation & provide necessary updates as they become available.  The US State Department maintains its travel warning for Iraq at Level 4 (No Travel ).

 

Last Sunday, Kata'ib Hezbollah in Iraq threatened to target US interests and bases across the region if Washington intervenes militarily in the ongoing war between Iran & Israel.  The group also sent a message to the Iraqi government & the Coordination Framework.

Sudani needs to fire all no shows when it's time to take up the vote.

As usual, there's not enough to take up a quorum.   IMHO.
