Al-Sudani pressures factions to calm escalation against Americans, seeks Tehran's support
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani seeks to exert pressure on the armed factions loyal to Iran to stop their escalation against American interests and targets in Iraq, according to informed sources.
The sources told Shafaq News Agency, "Al-Sudani has been working for days to pressure the armed factions to stop the escalation operations against the Americans after the bombing of Ain al-Assad base, for fear of American reactions that may escalate the security situation and confuse it inside Iraq."
The sources added, "Al-Sudani communicated with Iranian figures in order for Tehran to pressure those factions to stop escalating their operations against the Americans and give him a new opportunity to end the American presence in Iraq through dialogue and negotiation, but so far the factions reject the pressures of Al-Sudani and those close to him."
On Friday, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense confirmed that an attack had occurred on the area near the Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq, without resulting in any injuries among US military personnel.
A security source reported, on Thursday evening, that the base was targeted by at least two missiles. link
