Things are still blurry regarding the request of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, from the government and Parliament to close the American embassy in Iraq because of its position on the Israeli aggression against Gaza and Palestine in general. While the failure to implement the request was coupled with “another position” that will be announced by Al-Sadr, all indications indicate that this The requirement cannot be implemented.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr said on October 27 of this month, that from the standpoint of supporting the oppressed in the east and west of the earth, I demand (the Iraqi government) and (the Iraqi parliament) with all its factions and orientations, for the first time and for the sake of public, not private, interests, to vote on closing the American embassy in Iraq for unlimited American support for the Zionists. Terrorists against Gaza.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, “Closing the embassy comes with a commitment to protect its diplomatic personnel and not attack them by the shameless militias that want to undermine Iraq’s security and safety,” adding, “We are waiting for the government’s answer, action, and response to this demand.”[/size]
[size=45]He continued: “If the government and parliament do not respond, we will have another position that we will announce later,” pointing out that “everyone must commit to obedience, not act individually, and avoid using weapons at all.”[/size]
[size=45]He concluded by saying: “We hope that the fans of jihad and the axis of resistance will not object to this demand under the pretext of economic distress due to the American treasury... the absolute silence will lead to normalization, anomaly, and poverty, God Almighty forbid.”[/size]
[size=45]Direct embarrassment to the frame[/size]
[size=45]A number of observers and specialists read that this call by Al-Sadr is a direct embarrassment to the forces of the coordination framework, especially since they declare their opposition and resistance to the American forces, and at the same time it is not possible for them to take a decision through the government to take such a step, especially with the American side’s dominance over the Iraqi economy and even opinion. The international community in general towards Iraq, which is trying to enter the stage of international and economic construction and openness.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the positions of the coordinating framework and the rest of the political forces were wavering. While some independent representatives supported this, stressing that they were going to collect signatures to vote on closing the American embassy in the country, others, especially the coordinating framework, praised this demand from Al-Sadr, but had reservations about the possibility of implementing it.[/size]
[size=45]The positions of the forces and representatives of the Coordination Framework varied between those who asserted that this demand could not be achieved, because it would affect the stability of Iraq. Others said that this demand cannot be decided upon currently, but will be subject to study during a meeting of the Coordination Framework.[/size]
[size=45]Government: Closing the American embassy means the exit of all countries and the destruction of Iraq[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, Iraqi government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi said, regarding the demands to close the United States Embassy in Baghdad, that it is “a decision that would destroy Iraq.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Awadi stated in televised statements, “There are many international obligations on Iraq, and that any decision targeting diplomatic missions greatly affects Iraqi foreign relations.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, “The decision taken by the government to close the Swedish embassy in Iraq led to international concern. We have received demands from various embassies that diplomatic missions must be protected from repeated attacks on them,” referring to the government’s previous decision to close the Swedish embassy against the backdrop of the issue of burning the Holy Qur’an in Sweden.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Awadi promised that a decision such as closing the American embassy will not only affect the strategic framework agreement (signed between Washington and Baghdad), but will lead to the destruction of Iraq because of the international importance of its presence in Iraq,” stressing that the American side’s exit from Iraq diplomatically means the exit of all European and foreign parties and countries. The other, because the guarantee of its presence and protection in Iraq is the presence of the international coalition.[/size]
[size=45]While all indications point to the impossibility of implementing this demand, questions and fears arise about the type of action that Al-Sadr will take if this “escalatory” order is not implemented.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, observers believe that the matter may end with Parliament voting to close the American embassy, ​​but in a measure that is not binding on the government. However, even if it is a non-binding decision, it will lead to negative consequences, as the highest legislative authority in the country aims to completely sever relations with the American side. .[/size]
