WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is stepping up its military presence in Iraq and the Gulf region, creating anxiety among the PMU's leaders over Washington's malicious intentions, which coincided with widespread popular protests in Iraq, Lebanon and Iran.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO THE GULF
US forces on Tuesday dispatched the USS Abraham Lincoln and its battle group to the Gulf across the Strait of Hormuz, noting that the measure underscores "the commitment of the United States and its partners to ensure free navigation in the region and ensure Cross-strait trade flow. "
This development coincided with the rise of the number of US troops in Saudi Arabia to 3,000, a few weeks after the redeployment of about 1000 US troops in the areas of northern and western Iraq, after their withdrawal from Syria.
Crowd leadership is concerned
Sources close to the leadership of the Popular Mobilization Commission said in remarks reported by the Independent Arab newspaper, "The crowd leadership views with suspicion the US military movements in the Gulf and Iraq, especially as it coincides with popular protests in Iraq, Lebanon and Iran."
The sources say, "The PMU estimates indicate that the United States may be planning to carry out attacks against specific Iraqi figures, such as the deputy head of the PMU, Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, the Secretary General of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qais al-Khazali, and the Secretary General of the Nujaba Movement, Akram. Kaabi, and the Secretary-General of the Brigades of Sayed Martyrs, Abu Alaa Wali.
Increased pressure
According to the sources, these attacks may take place without an official announcement of their adoption by any party, such as attacks against weapons stores owned by the Popular Mobilization last August, then no one claimed responsibility, while Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi accused Israel By standing behind her.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that his country "will not stand idly by seeing the Iraqi people suffer repression."
According to the sources, the leaders of the "Popular Mobilization" in Iraq that they are the main stakeholders of the package of new US moves, in order to increase pressure on them, and make them to make mistakes.
Financial sanctions and travel restrictions
as well as the assumption of attacks against specific figures on Iraqi soil, diplomatic circles in Baghdad say that "the United States may be planning a package of measures against Iraqi parties, against the backdrop of the violent suppression of protests."
The sources believe that "these measures amount to pressure on the Iraqi government, through the balance of oil sales controlled by the United States, as well as financial sanctions and restrictions on travel against specific personalities."
Abdul - Mahdi is moving
just Prime Minister Abdul - Mahdi, trying weeks to contain the growing US pressure on the back of the suppression of protests since, by making changes to the structure of his administration, to keep the figures may be covered by US sanctions, "according to sources.
Iraqi officials say that" the relationship between management The US and the Iraqi government are in their worst stages since the fall of Saddam Hussein and the formation of a pro-Washington political system in 2003. "
These developments come amid mounting public protests in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon.
