BAGHDAD (Reuters) -
Iraq's economic sanctions against Tehran are at a critical stage, especially as the expiration date of the extension granted by the United States to some importing countries Iranian oil, and the inclusion of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the US list of terrorism.
The United States, represented by its embassy in Baghdad, on the one hand, and the Iraqi forces friendly or close to Iran, on the other hand, the exchange of messages of hostility during the past three days, reveal the extent of tension that characterizes relations between Washington and Tehran, and the possibility of detonation within Iraqi territory In the next few weeks and months.
The first US letter against Iran came in the form of a publication published by the Washington Embassy on its Facebook site, in which it strongly attacked Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, accusing him of corruption, and claimed he had a fortune of $ 200 billion.
"Corruption spreads throughout the Iranian regime, from the summit," the embassy said in its publication.
She added that "the property of the regime's guide Ali Khamenei alone estimated at 200 billion dollars, while many of the people are suffering from poverty because of the dire economic situation reached by Iran, after forty years of the rule of the mullahs."
In response to the American publication, the Fatah Alliance, led by Hadi al-Amiri, issued a statement in which he strongly rejected what he called the use of diplomatic missions on Iraqi soil to offend any country or insult religious authorities.
He added that "this act is contrary to the norms and rules of diplomatic work, and that what was issued through the official website of the United States Embassy is a flagrant violation and is unacceptable."
The statement called for "the deletion of this offensive Post first, and ask the Foreign Ministry to call the Acting Ambassador of the United States, and delivered a strong protest note."
The statement also called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to consider Joey Hui, the US charge d'affaires in Iraq, an undesirable person.
In turn, the Secretary-General of the Movement of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qais al-Khazali, yesterday, the US Embassy in Iraq, to abide by the border.
Al-Khazali said in a tweet on Twitter that "the statements and positions of the US Embassy, both direct and public, as well as secrecy, are attempts to sedition and confusion of the internal situation, as well as the arrogance and use of Iraq to interfere in the affairs of its neighbors and even assault them."
"They have to know that the guest has limits and he has to abide by them, otherwise he is not welcome."The US embassy's publication against Iran was not limited to proximate wings, but rather to other relatively distant figures, perhaps intersecting with the Iranian line, revealing the fears of some political and religious figures about Iraq's involvement in the anticipated US-Iranian conflict.
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Moqtada al-Sadr, expressed his concern about the interference in Iraqi affairs from both sides, in reference to Iran and the United States.
Sadr, in a statement, called yesterday for "the closure of the US embassy in the event of Iraq's involvement in this conflict."
He also called for the withdrawal of Iraqi factions belonging to the "crowd" and others, from Syria, and their immediate return to Iraq and the signing of Iraq and Iran a bilateral agreement to respect the sovereignty between the two countries.
For his part, warned the head of the reform coalition, Ammar al-Hakim, of "the use of Iraq as a springboard for the media, commercial or political war," considering that "a violation of our national sovereignty and a clear violation of the diplomatic norms between countries." He stressed in a brief statement issued by his office yesterday that "neutrality of Iraq and not to drag it to the policy of axes, and thus proceed from the national interest, which is our highest link to deal with everyone."
"The war of letters between America and Iran is taking the language of escalation," says Iyad al-Anbar, a political science professor at Kufa University. "Iraq seems to be the arena through which messages are exchanged between the two sides."
"Iraq's problem is that it is unable to disengage from Iran, and at the same time it can not give up US support.
"The Iraqi government is silent, and only statements that reflect the absence of a real vision or position to manage the crisis, rather than diplomatic positions," he notes.
The political and head of the Iraqi Center for Media Development, Adnan Al-Sarraj, expressed concern about "a possible and imminent clash between America and Iran inside Iraqi territory." "I imagine that the moment of rough play is not only pushing America toward it, but also Iran, and we have seen how it raised its rhetoric and threats in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz," he says.
But despite the hostile statements between Tehran and Washington, Al-Sarraj believes that "American policy does not tend to clash directly with Iran, because it believes that severe sanctions are capable of knocking it in the end."
