    Shafaq News/ The American newspaper “The Hill” considered that the continuation of the Israeli war in Gaza, and the American raid that killed a leader in the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, represents a “test” for the administration of US President Joe Biden in its relations with the government of Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, which is under increasing pressure. To work to remove American forces from Iraq. 
    The American report pointed out that the clashes between Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and the region, with American forces, threaten to turn Iraq into a war zone again, referring in this context to the missile attacks launched by Iran on Erbil, at a time when Sudanese says that he seeks to withdraw the 2,500 American soldiers. Those stationed in Iraq. 
    Although the report indicated that Washington says it does not plan to withdraw from Iraq, it continued that if Sudanese fulfills his commitment, Washington will have no choice but to leave, which will make the 900 American soldiers stationed in Syria as if they are on an island, which may force them To withdraw as well.
    The report quoted Bill Roggio, a researcher at the American Foundation for Defense of Democracies, as saying that this "would represent a massive victory for the Iranians, and it is all part of a grand strategy to weaken the United States in the region."
    The report continued that while the decision regarding the withdrawal of American forces is not completely certain, popular pressure is increasing on Iraq’s leaders to withdraw American forces after the deadly raid carried out against a leader in the Popular Mobilization Forces in Baghdad recently, as Al-Sudani announced that he will seek to hold a bilateral meeting. With the Americans, to discuss the issue of withdrawing their forces, he also told Reuters that ending the presence of American forces will prevent further tensions regarding overlapping internal and regional security issues. 
    In addition, the report pointed to the Iranian strikes on Erbil, and Al-Sudani's condemnation of these attacks and his confirmation that an investigation committee would investigate Iraq, while Baghdad recalled its ambassador from Tehran. 
    The American report saw that the repeated strikes threaten to drag Iraq into a dangerous battle between Iran and its agents and the United States, at a time when Iraq is emerging from a decade of war after the American invasion and then more years of fighting against terrorist organizations such as ISIS, noting that Al-Sudani photographed the American soldiers on They are aggressors through their confrontation with Iranian-backed militias. 
    While the report pointed out that the Iraqis, like others in other Arab countries, sympathize with the Palestinians in the face of the Israeli attack on Gaza, it quoted Gregory Goss, a professor at Texas A&M University, as saying that the number of Iraqis who have a negative view of the United States , greater than their number towards Iran, explaining that the war in Gaza contributes to widening this gap.
    According to Goss, it is also likely that Al-Sudani does not want to remove the United States from Iraq, for fear of allowing Iranian influence to increase unchecked. This is a possibility that the newspaper “Politico” recently referred to when it said that Iraqi officials are secretly seeking to keep the United States in control. Country. 
    Referring to the American presence in Iraq, Goss also said that it "gives him (the Sudanese) a little influence against Iran." 
    He continued, saying, "It is interesting that the Iranians are the ones who started these attacks on the American forces, and that it is the United States that is responding, and not the other way around, which raises a feeling that the Iranians consider that this is the appropriate time to put pressure on removing the Americans from Iraq, which is what "It was one of their goals since 2003." 
    At the same time, Goss says that the pressures will increase if the Israeli war in Gaza continues, and therefore Al-Sudani’s calculations may change, explaining that “the longer the period of the Gaza war lasts, the more likely it is that political pressures in Iraq will lead to an increase in the prime minister’s actual move to get rid of "The Americans, but I don't think he's really seeking to do that, but he may feel compelled to do that." 
    The report indicated that the US withdrawal may create a power vacuum in the region that Iran, Russia, and other opponents are likely to exploit.
    The report quoted Patricia Karam, a researcher at the American Arab Center in Washington, as saying that the Popular Mobilization Forces have grown into “a powerful force that can be used against Sudanese opponents, as they have combat experience, geographic reach, and unprecedented access to resources, in addition to Iranian sponsorship for them.” ". 
    While the report stated that the Iraqi parliament voted in favor of removing the United States from its territory in 2020, and that this decision is not binding, it said that Iraq this time may be more serious, given that Sudanese himself is pushing for the withdrawal of American soldiers. 
    The report quoted Roggio, from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, as saying, “The power of the militias has grown, and Iranian influence has increased,” explaining that “the Iraqi government may be serious at this time, and it is difficult for Iraq to balance the pressure exerted by the militias and the United States, which "Raids are launched on its territory without the approval of the Iraqi government." 
    The report also quoted the Iraqi researcher at Lancaster University, Ruba Ali Al-Hassani, as saying that Iraq is less concerned about the proxy war between the United States and Iran than it is about ensuring peace within its borders, but she indicated that the Sudanese “is taking a diplomatic path to reduce the escalation and is studying the option of removing The United States if necessary. 
    According to Al-Hassani, “This is an issue related to Iraqi sovereignty and is not related to a proxy war between the United States and Iran on Iraqi territory, which clearly arouses Iraqis’ dissatisfaction with it.”
