Today, Thursday (April 4, 2024), Professor of Political Science at Halabja University, Othman Raouf, pointed out the pressures facing the Kurdistan Region, while clarifying Iran’s role in them.
Othman said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "The pressures facing the region, whether through the repeated Iranian bombing of Erbil or the decisions taken by the Iraqi government and judiciary against Kurdistan, were due to the failure of the parties in power and their ongoing conflict."
He added, "The hostility with Iran was the biggest reason for these pressures, and it is known that Tehran has a major political role and influence in the Iraqi scene, so trying to create an 'enemy of Iran' was the biggest mistake committed by the Kurdish parties."
He pointed out that "Kurdistan does not have the means of pressure to respond to these pressures. First, on the economic level, it is in dire need of Baghdad on the issue of salaries and budget, and Tehran on the issue of fuel, food imports, and others."
At the international and political level, Raouf said, “The international community no longer cares much about the Iraqi issue or the Kurdistan region, and has not interacted with the issue of the Democratic Party’s boycott of the Kurdistan elections, because there are more important concerns at the level of the region and the world.”
All eyes are still on Tehran, to monitor the possible response that the Israeli entity has threatened in retaliation for the bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the killing of 7 leaders and advisors of the Revolutionary Guard, amid Iraqi fears that this will extend to the Iraqi interior, especially with the entry of “embassies” within the targeting range .
These fears prompted the Shiite leaders and parties in Iraq to call on the international community to intervene, while political analyst Adnan Muhammad Al-Tamimi, yesterday, Wednesday (April 3, 2024), reviewed 3 reasons behind the Shiite parties’ request for international intervention after the bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus .
Al-Tamimi said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "The bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the fall of elite Revolutionary Guard leaders who represented the spearhead of Tehran's efforts to support Syria and Lebanon constitute a painful blow and a dangerous shift in the level of conflict between Iran and Israel . "
He added, "Israel believes that Washington will not abandon it, no matter what it does of massacres and violations because of the Zionist lobby, which has now effectively run the White House through the power of money, and this is a matter on which no two disagree," stressing that "the Iraqi forces, especially the Shiites, are aware of the seriousness of the events in Syria and the possibility of... Its spark will spread to Baghdad after a period of calm between the Iraqi factions and America through mediations, some of which are governmental and others political . ”
He pointed out that "the bombing of the consulate means breaking red lines in keeping diplomatic headquarters away from the conflict, and this may spread to Baghdad if tensions return again, especially since America constitutes a strategic ally and the largest supporter of Tel Aviv in the Middle East region, in addition to the fact that Israel may persist in its strikes." To an open war because it is in trouble due to the extent of the losses in Gaza and Netanyahu’s political situation, which is looking for any adventure that will save him from within . ”
Earlier, an Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate building in Damascus killed 7 leaders and advisors of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, amid Tehran’s vow to respond to this attack, while observers believe that Iran will respond with a bombing that may be in Iraqi Kurdistan, as it did in previous times to certain sites it described as “ Mossad headquarters,” or that an Israeli embassy in one of the countries could be targeted, perhaps Jordan, especially with the increasing talk and factional focus on Jordan, the latest of which is the Hezbollah Brigades’ announcement of its readiness to supply “the Islamic resistance in Jordan to carry out operations against the Zionist entity.”
