[size=52]A fake tweet by Al-Sadr confuses Baghdad...and Washington begins to respond to the factions[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad/ Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday morning, Baghdad almost witnessed an unprecedented escalation following the spread of a statement by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr (later revealed to be forged), which included measures against the American embassy.[/size]
[size=45]Following the statement, the authorities quickly closed the road leading to the Green Zone, before reopening it shortly thereafter.[/size]
[size=45]The event coincided with reports that one of the Iraqi factions involved in bombing American bases was attacked near the Iraqi-Syrian border.[/size]
[size=45]This attack appears to be the beginning of the “American response,” which politicians believe may expand and target in the future the physical elimination of faction leaders.[/size]
[size=45]More than 3 days have now passed since Al-Sadr called on the government and parliament to vote on closing the American embassy, at a time when the government spokesman responded to Al-Sadr and considered the decision “the destruction of Iraq.”[/size]
[size=45]Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, who is close to al-Sadr, published a tweet following the government’s statements, in which he called on the government to resign and for the movement’s supporters to go on a “general strike.”[/size]
[size=45]The tweet, which he later denied and said was “fake,” had also called for a demonstration in front of the American embassy, due to ignoring the demands of the movement’s leader.[/size]
[size=45]Before denying the tweet, security forces closed the Al-Jumhuriya Bridge leading to the Green Zone, which houses the American embassy, and then reopened it about an hour later. What happened shows the confusion of the government and the coordination framework, the latter of which remained silent on Al-Sadr's call, as everyone awaits the next step of the leader of the movement.[/size]
[size=45]Government spokesman Basem Al-Awadi said in an interview with a channel affiliated with Asaib Ahl al-Haq, led by Qais Khazali, that “a decision such as closing the American embassy will not only affect the strategic framework agreement, but will lead to the destruction of Iraq because of the importance of the American embassy in the international presence in Iraq.”[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, more than 40 parliamentary signatures began to be collected to close the American embassy in Baghdad and expel the ambassador from Iraq, according to a request from the head of the Emtadah Movement, Alaa Al-Rikabi.[/size]
[size=45]According to a document, published on a number of news sites, it included a request by Representative Al-Rikabi and a number of representatives to hold an extraordinary session for the Palestinian cause, close the American embassy, expel the ambassador, and suspend diplomatic relations with countries that support the Zionist entity.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr had threatened to take “another position,” which he has not yet revealed, if Parliament and the government did not respond to his demands to close the embassy.[/size]
[size=45]Last July, Al-Sadr's supporters burned the Swedish embassy in central Baghdad, after the Iraqi refugee in Sweden, Silwan Mumika, burned a copy of the Qur’an, before the embassy was completely closed.[/size]
[size=45]The government spokesman added on Asaib TV, “The decision taken by the government to close the Swedish embassy in Iraq led to international concern, as we received demands from various embassies that diplomatic missions must be protected from repeated attacks on them.”[/size]
[size=45]Audiences and bloggers close to the Shiite framework had previously refused to interact with Al-Sadr's call, for fear of being targeted by the United States.[/size]
[size=45]The “Frame” has been going through a crisis and dispute for more than two weeks against the backdrop of the government’s decision to prosecute those who launched missiles at American bases.[/size]
[size=45]This decision came after senior American officials contacted Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani, and Washington began evacuating embassy workers in Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday morning, information indicated that sites of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades - one of the PMF factions - may have been bombed in the Syrian Albu Kamal area, which is close to the Iraqi border.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Shaddadi base in Syria was attacked more than once, while Washington accuses Iraqi factions of being behind those attacks.[/size]
[size=45]Two weeks ago, the brigades had carried out, according to electronic platforms close to the factions, a “maneuver with live ammunition” in a number of areas of Iraq under the name “At your command, ya Al-Aqsa.”[/size]
[size=45]The latest attack on the Phalange took place hours after the announcement of a meeting that brought together a delegation from the Hamas movement with Qais Khazali, the leader of the Asaib, for the first time in Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Khazali’s office said in a statement that the latter “received in his office in Baghdad a delegation from the Hamas movement, which included the leader of the movement, Osama Hamdan, and Muhammad al-Hafi, a member of the Office of Arab and Islamic Relations.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, “During the meeting, the most important developments taking place in the Gaza Strip, the steadfastness of the resistance, and the bravery of its men in confronting the most violent attack carried out by the usurping occupation entity were reviewed.”[/size]
[size=45]Sheikh Khazali affirmed, “Iraq’s position in general, and the resistance factions in particular, is firm toward the crucial issues of the Islamic nation, most notably the Palestinian issue.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Khazali had announced, hours after Hamas carried out its attack on Israel on October 7, that he was “studying the situation in Gaza... prepared and not watching.”[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, according to a statement attributed to the Hamas delegation that visited Iraq, it praised the position of the religious authority Ali al-Sistani and the Prime Minister in supporting “the Palestinian cause.”[/size]
[size=45]In addition, the well-known politician Mathal Al-Alusi said that the leader of the Sadrist movement “believes that the political situation of the framework and his government is very fragile, so he is pushing everything he has to prove his ability in the political and Shiite arena before changes occur that may take place after the local elections if they take place on time.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi added in an interview with (Al-Mada), speaking about Al-Sadr’s demands to close the American embassy, “But I believe that Mr. Muqtada Al-Sadr’s tactics will not serve the Sadrists in the future, as they will not win the diplomatic affection of supporting countries allied with Iraq,” wishing him (Al-Sadr) “to review his recent policy and take positions.” “Pragmatism rather than escalation.”[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the scenarios after the factions’ bombing of American bases inside and outside Iraq, Al-Alusi mentions the existence of two positions for Iran and its affiliated factions, one explicit and the other under the table, indicating that “there are messages coming out from the components of the coordination framework asking America not to clash and not to be a party affiliated with what is happening.” in Gaza".[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi, a former MP, describes the recent Shiite speeches against Israel as “verbal maneuvers that are useless, and the bombing operations against the bases have no military value, and the states will begin, or have begun now, to respond.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi also talks about the end of “the American verbal guarantees to Iraq not to confront those factions... These pledges were circumstantial and specific to relevant positions.”[/size]
[size=45]He also says that he and a number of Iraqis who have contact with the American administration and European countries are “trying to keep Iraq away from the war, but the land in Iraq is fragile, and we may lose American armament, the protection of the dollar, and oil revenues.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi also repeats what he said previously, that “there is a serious investigation into the arrival of the dollar from Iraq to Hamas, and Iran’s training of Hamas in Jurf al-Sakhar, south of Baghdad. If this is proven, there will be physical liquidations of those who planned, implemented, and helped what happened on October 7.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi, a former member of the Foreign Relations Committee in Parliament, warns the government that “the war in Gaza will expand, and the government must secure financial and food reserves, and it must accelerate the opening of the oil pipeline with Turkey because there is information about the possibility of confusion in the Strait of Hormuz, which will lead to a disruption in the sale of oil.” “.[/size]
