The Washington Post reveals details of a "tense" meeting between the "angry" Mahdi and Fayyad
2019/09/27 06:22:26
Rising tensions between the United States and Iran have raised the prospect that Iraq will once again become a battleground on which the two powers are battling and a cradle of attacks on US forces and their allies in the region, according to The Washington Post.
But recent developments suggest that the Iraqi government is trying to "cut" the wings of Iranian-allied militias operating in Iraq, and in return Tehran wants its Middle East proxies to step up pressure on US interests, the Washington Post said.
Iraqi officials worry that their country will get involved in the conflict, with fears mounting after the attack on two oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Iraqi officials were embarrassed when the attack reportedly came not from Iranian-backed Houthi militias in Yemen, but from Iraqi territory, according to Western lawmakers and officials.
The CNN network quoted an informed source as saying the drone attack took off from Iraq, not Yemen. But Iraq then officially denied all the news.
"The prime minister (Adel Abdul Mahdi) was very angry," said one lawmaker, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The news was followed by a "tense" meeting between Abdul Mahdi and Faleh al-Fayyad, head of the Popular Mobilization Commission, according to a number of people familiar with the meeting, quoted by the American newspaper.

A ticking time bomb
and said one of those that Abdul Mahdi al - Fayad , called attention about these developments, and asked him firmly to solve the problem of security and re - evading crowd into the hands of the state.
Another Iraqi official pointed out that the situation is very sensitive, and address it will be important, because the crowd has become a time bomb, and the Prime Minister must deal with it, but it depends on the flood and the way to deal with different factions.
After US officials blamed Iran for the attack, both US and Iraqi officials appeared relatively confident this time that Iraq was not the source of the attack.
"Notice the confidence. The prime minister immediately issued a statement denying that the attack came from Iraq, where he was sure this time," said an Iraqi parliamentarian quoted by the newspaper.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense has announced that the attack on Aramco facilities in Abqaiq and Hijra Khurais started from the north with Iranian support. Ministry spokesman Turki al-Maliki offered evidence of Iran's involvement in the attack, which has become an international consensus that Tehran is behind it.
