Intifad Qanbar: Iran seeks to dominate the Iraqi tourism sector through Asaib Ahl al-Haq

Chairman of the Iraqi Constitutional Future Party, Antifad Qanbar
Roudao - Erbil 

confirmed the head of the Iraqi constitutional party of the future, Entifadh Qanbar, that the appointment of ministers of culture in Iraq by the League of the Righteous, is an insult to the Iraqi people, because they are "under the jurisdiction of the jurist a terrorist organization", and merged the Iraqi Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture in the era of Mr. Haidar al-Abadi, and Iran is trying through Asaib Ahl al-Haq to control the tourism sector in Iraq, and exploitation of this sector of smuggling in order to break the siege on Tehran. 

"I think there is a political maneuver by President Donald Trump, because he needs an alliance, especially with the G-8 countries, such as India, China, South Korea, and others," said Antifad Qanbar, Against Europe, which insists so much on breaking the boycott. "

"The Europeans want to use this issue in a negotiated manner, and they have confidence that the boycott could be stepped up gradually or significantly, or even prevent the eight countries when they want to" . 

"I had extensive contacts with Washington, and we learned for a long time that there is a split in the Trump administration. The US foreign and treasury ministers are keeping the SWIFT system, while the national security adviser stands with the team that advocates banning this banking system. About Iran. " 

"I think Trump went with the foreign ministers and the treasury, and it may be a temporary measure if they do not notice a radical change in Iran's actions. This may be an exam for the effectiveness of this boycott, and Trump may increase its intensity in a short time. from now on".

"Iraq has been allowed to buy gas for energy without paying in dollars, and America is clear in this context," he said. "Even if Iraq is allowed to deal with some commercial materials with Iran, it will not allow Iraq to pay the dollar that will lift the embargo on Iran. For Iraq, a smart move must be committed by Iraq or else the Iraqi Central Bank, as well as the Iraqi people, will be punished and paid a heavy price, and I expect that the Iraqi government under the chairmanship of Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi will abide by these measures, despite the presence of Iranian militias in this government. 

"Asaib Ahl al-Haq is the minister of culture. This is an insult to the Iraqi people. This is a terrorist organization belonging to the Wilayat al-Faqih. It killed Iraqis, Americans and Kurds, and it is therefore unreasonable to hand over a prestigious ministry such as the Ministry of Culture, Terrorists ".

Pointing out that "the Iraqi Ministry of Tourism merged with the Ministry of Culture in the era of Mr. Haider Abadi, and Iran is trying through Asaib Ahl al-Haq to control the tourism sector in Iraq, and exploitation of this sector of smuggling to break the siege on Iran." 

He also pointed out that "Mr. Muqtada al-Sadr is taking very positive steps in choosing people who do not follow his current and not from his party, but he chose them on the basis of competence and integrity, including the oil minister, but I think that Mr. Faleh al-Fayadh is outdated and the Iraqi government deserves a new face. And I am personally proud of my relationship with Mr. Faleh al-Fayyad, but there is a strong relationship with Iran that may cause problems for Iraq in the security and military fields, especially with its relationship with the United States of America, and this is what we do not need today " .

"The status of Kirkuk is bad, and I said on more than one occasion that what happened on October 16, 2017 was a stab in the back of the Kurds, and a friend in Washington helped to issue an article in which we strongly condemned Washington for abandoning the Kurds for the militias. I have said more than once that the battle was not between Baghdad and Erbil, but between Erbil and Tehran, and this is flawed, because the differences with the Kurdish side must: To be resolved through the Constitution, and in peaceful and civilized ways. "

Noting that Mr. Massoud Barzani himself saved the Iraqi opposition and protected it for decades in Salah al-Din, including the Dawa Party, to protect the Peshmerga heroes, as well as a true partner of the Islamic Shiites in overthrowing Saddam's regime, so what happened is considered a stab in the back, And I think that Abbadi paid for this behavior that lost the prime minister for a second session. " 

"I have personal knowledge of Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi through our political work during the days of the opposition, he loves the Kurds and he has excellent relations with Mr. Massoud Barzani, and with all the Kurds, and I think he will work hard to reform what Abadi spoiled, and I think the task is difficult and very large, They will push for a distinction between Kurds and Arabs, but we must work together to repair what has been sabotaged, and I also work in this direction.
