ANALYSIS OF IRAQ NEWS: Joint Operations: We will not allow Iraq to be an arena for any international or regional conflict - Urgent BY DINAR REVALUATION, 13 AUGUST

 Joint Operations: We will not allow Iraq to be an arena for any international or regional conflict - Urgent

The Joint Operations Command confirmed, on Tuesday (August 13, 2024), that it will not allow Iraqi lands to become an arena for any international or regional conflict, while indicating that Iraq will not be a starting point for attacking others.

The spokesman for the command, Major General Tahseen Al-Khafaji, said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "According to the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Iraq cannot allow itself to be an arena for settling scores and does not accept attacks from within or from without."

He added, "The Iraqi position is clear, which is to prevent it from being used as an arena for any regional or international conflict in any way, and it will not be a starting point for attacking others."

The Iraqi arena has recently witnessed security incidents represented by the bombing of aircraft that the Popular Mobilization Authority said were American, on units in the Jurf al-Sakhar district, north of Babil Governorate, while the Ain al-Assad base in Anbar Governorate was subjected to a missile attack that resulted in injuries among the American forces stationed inside the base.

These developments come in light of the war waged by the Zionist entity against civilians in Gaza, which has been reflected in the rest of the countries that have entered the war against the entity, including Iraq, where armed factions in Iraq announce from time to time the implementation of operations targeting the entity with drones at times and missiles at other times, in addition to participating with the Houthi Ansar Allah in Yemen to carry out these operations.

The world is currently waiting for Iran to respond to the assassination of the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in the heart of the capital, Tehran, but it has not yet implemented the response.

Observers expect that Iran will carry out a devastating strike targeting Tel Aviv in cooperation with the Lebanese Hezbollah, which also vowed to respond to the assassination of the leader Fouad Shukr in Lebanon.  link


ANALYSIS:

The statement from the Joint Operations Command, reported on August 13, 2024, emphasizes Iraq's commitment to maintaining its sovereignty and not allowing its territory to be used for regional or international conflicts.

Major General Tahseen Al-Khafaji, speaking on behalf of the command, stressed that Iraq will not permit itself to be a launchpad for attacks or a battleground for external disputes.

The recent security incidents mentioned include attacks on military bases and tensions related to the broader regional conflicts involving entities like the Popular Mobilization Authority, the American forces in Iraq, and other regional actors. 

The command’s position reflects Iraq's broader strategy to avoid becoming embroiled in these conflicts and to maintain its neutrality.

In the context of ongoing regional tensions, including the conflict involving Gaza and the potential reactions from countries like Iran and Hezbollah, Iraq's stance is a bid to prevent its territory from being used as a base for operations related to these broader conflicts.
