The Parliamentary Defense explains the reasons for the visit of a security delegation to America and directs a request regarding armingInformation / special.
Today, Thursday, the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee revealed the reason for the visit of the Iraqi security delegation headed by the Minister of Defense to America, while it directed a request to the Ministry of Defense regarding armaments, stressing that this file should not be exploited by one country.
Committee member Ali Al-Bandawi said, in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, that “the visit of the Iraqi security delegation headed by the Minister of Defense to the United States of America comes in order to discuss the security agreement between Baghdad and Washington.”
He added, “The Ministry of Defense must have more than one source for financing and supplying weapons, that is, it does not depend on the American side only, but there must be several sources to arm the Iraqi army, especially with the presence of many international countries known for the weapons industry.”
Al-Baldawi explained, “The Security and Defense Committee stressed the Ministry of Defense and other security agencies of the need to diversify the supply of weapons to Iraq, so that this file is not exploited by putting pressure on the country in other files.”
And a member of the Parliamentary Security Committee stated, “The Iraqi army is strong and brave and fought all the battles and achieved a great victory, but what the security forces lack is some modern equipment and technology,” noting that “the Minister of Defense moved in this direction in order to provide the necessary equipment for the armed forces in various types of the army, in Foremost among them is air defence.
At a fixed time, the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasool, stated that a high-ranking delegation headed by Iraqi Defense Minister Thabet Muhammad al-Abbasi began his visit to the United States of America, at the official invitation of the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon).
The United States of America deals with great duplicity in the file of arming Iraq. While it gives the Kurdish Peshmerga forces everything they need, it ignores the requests submitted by Baghdad to arm the Iraqi army.
