    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Khamenei during his meeting last month with Abdul-Mahdi urged him to work to get US troops out of Iraq (Anatolia)

    Question: Iraqi journalist Arun Majid tried to answer him in an article in the US magazine Foreign Policy.
    He said it would be superfluous to say these days that Iran dominates its western neighbor and supports the statement made by Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa in a tweet that Iran is "controlling" Iraq.
    US national security adviser John Bolton has compared the Tehran-Iraq control of the former Soviet Union's suffocation to Eastern Europe in the late 1940s.
    Economically, Majid considered that Iran has significant influence in Iraq. It is Baghdad's third largest trading partner with a trade volume of about $ 12 billion a year. Politically, the pro-Tehran Fatah alliance won 48 seats (14.6 percent) of the seats in the Iraqi parliament in the last elections last year, making it the second largest bloc.
    He adds that Iran has armed Shiite militias that monopolize sectors of the Iraqi economy, and is also responsible for security in some areas after defeating the organization of the Islamic state.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

    Trump and his wife visit the base of Ayn al-Assad in Iraq at the end of last year (Reuters)
    A conflict of influence
    Late last year, US President Donald Trump visited the al-Assad airbase in Anbar province in western Iraq, an undeclared visit. The Fath Alliance considered it not to respect the country's sovereignty.
    On the other hand, the Fatah bloc sought to pass legislation calling for the withdrawal of American forces, but its attempts failed, which was considered by the writer as an indication of the existence of resistance to Iranian influence in Iraq.
    He added that one of the indicators as well as the battle that took place for the post of Minister of the Interior, where insisted the Fath Alliance on the appointment of the head of the popular crowd Faleh al-Fayadh, but these attempts failed, prompting the opening withdrawal of the nomination of Fayadh, to remain vacant position so far.
    The Majid said that what demonstrates the independence of Iraq, the visit of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to Saudi Arabia, which came after the visit of Iranian President Hassan Rowhani to Baghdad.
    According to Foreign Policy, Iran was not pleased with the Iraqi prime minister's visit to Saudi Arabia and concluding a number of deals there. A senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that Iran would not allow liberals and communists to rule Iraq.
    Iran's influence in Iraq is not limited to officials and legislators alone. A poll published in the Washington Post showed a decline in Iran's popularity among Iraqi Shiites by 41 percent between 2015 and 2018.
    The author concludes that the claim that Iran is alone in Iraq has ignored the influence of international powers led by the United States and Turkey.
    Although Tehran has a significant influence in Baghdad, its ambitions in Iraq have repeatedly been aborted, as Majid, who denies Abdul-Mahdi, attributes to Iran.
    The author concludes by saying that exaggerating Iran's domination of Iraq by the Trump administration is dangerous, adding that the exaggeration is nothing more than an attempt by Washington to pressure Abdul Mahdi to cut off his oil relations with his eastern neighbor.
    That amplification endangered Iraq's security and undermined the efforts of Iraqi factions seeking to establish a "more equal" relationship with Tehran, he said.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
