The fact that one of the Iraqi factions armed several months ago to send the tank, "Abrams," the United States developed defensive and offensive to Iran, running the administration of US President Donald Trump, she is very dissatisfied with this send because I felt that there was a military insult directed at it, So it is exerting great pressure on the Iraqi government to recover, and this send the situation of the Iraqi government in a very embarrassing position with the US administration and the International Alliance. He also put the US administration in a critical position in front of American public opinion.

The Abrams, one of the most powerful tanks in the world, used in the Second Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, the 2003 Iraq War and military intervention in Yemen.

During July, the US Army Chief of Staff, Joseph Francis Dunford, met with Iraqi Defense Minister Irfan al-Hayali and the first staff chief of the Iraqi army, Osman al-Ghanmi. He informed them that the Iraqi government should retrieve the American tank from Iran, During the meeting with them all the information related to the order of the tank as the name of the faction in the popular crowd, which sent to Iran, and provided them with the number of the tank and pictures. He also told them that if the Iraqi government could not retrieve the tank, it would have a negative impact on US military aid and other aid to Iraq.

Iraqi Defense Minister Irfan al-Hayali and the head of the Iraqi army's chief of staff, Osman al-Ghanmi, the chief of staff of the US army, First Lieutenant Joseph Francis Dunford, promised to return the tank as soon as possible.

That the delivery of the Abrams tank to Iran is not the first of its kind, especially as we learned that the wreckage of a US aircraft and dozens of American "Hamarat" and various American weapons arrived in Iran. In addition, Iraq has become a major market for arms trade, such as the market of "Meredi" in Baghdad, but in Mosul and after recovering from the organization of calling the terrorist has become Kfri and Klar in the area of ​​Hamidiya market also to sell weapons. As sold in the Iraqi arms markets all kinds of weapons of America, Western and Eastern, and most of these weapons purchased by the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, as well as the Iraqi citizens in all provinces of Iraq to purchase them, and it is noteworthy here that these weapons and military equipment sold at a quarter of its real price. For example, the Hummer car is sold in the Iraqi arms market for 30 thousand US dollars, while the real price range between 280 thousand dollars to 300 thousand dollars.

There is no doubt that the request of the US administration, which reaches the level of insistence of the Iraqi government to retrieve the Abrams tank, sets its will in front of a real test between the United States of America, the official sponsor of the Iraqi political system in the post-2003, which contributed through its military and intelligence support To the Iraqi government in defeating the organization of Daed in Mosul and various Iraqi provinces, and Iran, which has the influence of multiple forms, and the question arises in this context? Can the Iraqi government return Abrams' tank from Iran?
