[size=52]The decision to withdraw American forces complicates Sudanese’s meeting with Biden, and the Pentagon denies withdrawal[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad/ Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Tehran supports Baghdad's decision to withdraw international coalition forces, while Washington denies the existence of plans to withdraw from Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]Internally, despite talk of a government decision in this regard, the coordinating framework that runs the authority does not seem to agree on a single opinion, according to observers.[/size]
[size=45]A decision that showed Iraq, according to observers, that it is subordinate to Iran, while the government seeks to give legitimacy to the decision by asking the opinion of the Iraqis with a question via mobile messages.[/size]
[size=45]Observers believe that advisors to Prime Minister Mohamed Al-Sudani implicated the latter in the issue of evacuating foreign forces, and this will be reflected in an expected visit by Al-Sudani to America.[/size]
[size=45]On Monday, the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) said that it does not currently plan to withdraw its forces, numbering about 2,500 soldiers, from Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]This statement comes days after the Iraqi government announced the formation of a committee to prepare to end the mission of the US-led international coalition in the country. US Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder said in a press briefing: “At the present time, I am not aware of any plans (to plan a withdrawal). “We remain laser-focused on the mission of defeating ISIS.”[/size]
[size=45]He added that American forces are in Iraq at the invitation of the government there.[/size]
[size=45]Ryder said that he was also not aware of any notification from Baghdad to the Pentagon regarding a decision to withdraw American forces, and he referred journalists to the US State Department regarding any diplomatic discussions on the matter.[/size]
[size=45]The Baghdad government's latest announcement came a day after the leader of an armed faction in Baghdad was killed in an American raid, which sparked the anger of the factions, which demanded that the government end the coalition's presence in Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]In this regard, Mathal Al-Alusi, a politician and former MP, said in an interview with Al-Mada: “There are no negotiations and no American proposals to leave Iraq; All that is said is that Washington told Baghdad that it is ready to hear all opinions that strengthen the independence of Iraqi decision-making away from the dominance of Iran and the militias.”[/size]
[size=45]Tehran clearly announces its support for Iraq’s decision to withdraw coalition forces. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said during his weekly press conference, “We are convinced that the Iraqi armed forces have the authority and power necessary to ensure security. It is time for Washington to leave Iraq.” The international coalition led by Washington includes other countries such as France and Spain. It was established about ten years ago to combat ISIS, which controlled vast areas of Iraq and Syria.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi, a former member of the Parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee, points out that “Al-Sudani, despite his civil orientation, is under intense pressure from Iran and the factions that may threaten his political project and his life as well.” The former representative stated, “The United States is still advising Baghdad to provide protection for Iraqi sovereignty and fill the loopholes opened by the Revolutionary Guard and the militias, but the government is not listening.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi believes that the recent developments in the relationship with the coalition forces will affect an expected visit this year by the Sudanese to Washington to meet with US President Joe Biden. He added: “If the visit takes place, it will be under harsh conditions and a protocol that does not suit the prime minister of a country like Iraq, and these are American messages to Iran must stop interfering in Iraqi affairs.”[/size]
[size=45]Last September, Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State, extended an official invitation to Sudanese to visit Washington, but it appears that it was postponed due to dissatisfaction with the government’s performance so far.[/size]
[size=45]In addition, Ahmed Al-Sharifi, a researcher in political and security affairs, says to Al-Mada: “The issue of removing the coalition forces does not seem to enjoy consensus within the coordination framework, and neither Baghdad nor even Washington has the authority to cancel the authorization for international forces to enter Iraq.”[/size]
[size=45]Sources close to the “Frame” indicated that the latter authorized the Sudanese to conduct a dialogue with the Americans to get them out of Iraq. In return, the government sent text messages to the phones of some Iraqis asking them for their opinion on this measure.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sharifi confirms that Iraq in 2014, following the emergence of ISIS, asked the United Nations for assistance, and the latter assigned the matter to the Security Council, which took a decision to form an international coalition led by the United States, considering that Iraq had become a “hotbed of terrorism.”[/size]
[size=45]On this basis, the researcher in security affairs says: “The decision to cancel this authorization requires presenting the matter to the Supreme Staff of the United Nations, which includes qualified officers associated with the five permanent members of the Security Council, and they are examining the situation in Iraq and submitting a report to the United Nations to end the authorization.” “.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sharifi believes that the army of advisors affiliated with the Prime Minister “involved the Sudanese in submitting a project that would not succeed, and showed Iraq that it was affiliated with Iran, and it would have been better for them to inform him of those details.”[/size]
[size=45]As for the alternative to the coalition, which the Sudanese government has not yet disclosed, Al-Sharifi fears repeating the opinion of Adel Abdul Mahdi, the former Prime Minister, during whose term a parliamentary decision was issued to remove the coalition forces.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sharifi says, “Abdul Mahdi’s project included the removal of all foreign forces and their replacement by Chinese, Russian, and Iranian alternative forces.”[/size]
