BAGHDAD AGREES WITH THE AMERICANS: “THE LESSON OF 2014 MUST NOT RETURN.”
Advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister for Security Affairs, Khaled Al-Yaqoubi, confirmed today, Sunday (January 28, 2024), that Baghdad is trying to reach a formula with the American side to confront the threats, in reference to the recent attacks that targeted American bases in Iraq.
Al-Yaqoubi added, “The basis of the dialogue is to find a common formula with America and the international coalition.”
He explained, “Baghdad agrees with the Americans that the lesson of 2014 should not be repeated, in reference to the attacks launched by ISIS in Iraq,” stressing that “the lessons of the past are present to the Iraqis and Americans.”
FINISH THE ALLIANCE MISSION
Yesterday, Saturday (January 27, 2024), the first round of bilateral dialogue between Iraq and the United States began to end the mission of the international coalition against ISIS, which is led by Washington.
Baghdad hopes that this will lead to a gradual reduction of coalition forces on its territory. The media office of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani published a picture of the first meeting in which senior commanders of the Iraqi army, security services, and leaders of the international coalition, which includes dozens of foreign countries, participated.
TARGETING AMERICAN FORCES
This initiative came in a very tense regional context. Since mid-October, more than 150 drone and missile strikes have targeted American and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, in a direct reflection of the war in Gaza between Israel, Washington’s ally, and the Palestinian Hamas movement.
On Saturday evening, a drone attack targeted the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq, where coalition forces are deployed, according to what a US military official told Agence France-Presse, without being able to estimate the occurrence of damage or casualties.
