Political researcher Ahmed Al-Yasiri predicted, on Friday (December 13, 2024), that major changes will take place in the Middle East region after Donald Trump assumes the presidency of the United States of America.
Al-Yasiri said in an interview with Baghdad Today, “Trump is planning major changes in the Middle East region, and therefore the region is entering a new phase, and Iraq will be at the forefront of these changes in terms of the security and economic reality.”
He added, “According to this change, Iraq will witness internal events, some of which will be difficult and related to the security aspect of the weapons file outside the control of the state. Trump is planning to significantly limit these weapons as part of the policy of trimming Iran’s arms in the region.”
Trump will assume his duties as US President on January 20, and since winning the presidential elections, he has been making provocative statements from time to time about developments in the region, including that if the detainees in Gaza are not released before his inauguration, there will be “hell” in the Middle East, he said.
