Banning phones in Iraq during meetings and meetings of political leaders in Iraq has become a clear and increasing tradition over the past two years, even at the level of members of a single party or bloc.
The phenomenon of handing out phones outside the meeting or meeting place emerged, even without one of the meeting parties requesting it, after the famous leaks incident of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other political leaders, most notably MP Ahmed al-Jubouri, which led to the majority of personal meetings between politicians and others in Iraq becoming To meetings without phones.
Handing over phones is a specific and diplomatic method, which means that the host hands over his phone to someone so that the guest takes the same step. Although this situation was reprehensible, it has become necessary for politicians in Iraq, in order to prevent dialogues and discussions from being deliberately recorded or to prevent “infiltration,” as a member of the “Coordination Framework” coalition explained to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, who refused to reveal his name. The phone ban in Iraq made everyone feel reassured and talk more freely, especially since some meetings were characterized by frankness that amounted to insults, as MP Hanan Al-Fatlawi revealed.
Banning phones in Iraq
The ban on phones in Iraq began in July 2022, against the backdrop of the leak of audio recordings of the leader of the “Islamic Dawa” Party, former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, during a session that brought him together with a number of leaders and members of the “Liwaa Imams of al-Baqi” militia, active in the province. Diyala borders Iran, east of the country.
During these leaks, Al-Maliki spoke on more than one topic, including those related to the “Popular Mobilization Forces” and his work to form a new militia to protect it, revealing his hostility to the leader of the “Sadrist Movement” Muqtada Al-Sadr, and his threat to attack him in his stronghold in the Al-Hanana neighborhood in Najaf, in addition to files related to incidents in This happened in Iraq in recent years and he has a relationship with it, in addition to his contacts with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and various Iranian figures.
Although the recordings caused a political and popular shock within Iraq, because they contained dangerous information and attacks on political and religious leaders, and led lawyers and citizens to file lawsuits against Al-Maliki, the lawsuit files remained hidden in the Ministry of Interior and the Iraqi judiciary.
Audio recordings of Representative Ahmed Al-Jubouri, known as “Abu Mazen,” were also leaked during a political meeting, and other communications and audio recordings sent via the WhatsApp application, in which he talked about buying and selling positions in Salah al-Din Governorate and judicial positions in addition to other positions in the Ministry of Education, not to mention A depiction of ministers who swore to him of loyalty, obedience, and not to defect from him.
The Iraqi judiciary said it would investigate the recordings.
According to a member of the Coordination Framework Alliance, “Party leaders have become afraid of any audio recordings from their meetings being leaked, and following the crisis that the political situation witnessed against the backdrop of the leaking of Nouri al-Maliki’s recordings, most of the political leaders decided to clear their offices of those of questionable loyalty and transfer them to other parties.” In addition to checking offices and rooms for any eavesdropping devices.”
He added in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “Politicians also fear phones being hacked, as they believe that it is easy to hack them and eavesdrop on them.”
The member, who requested to remain anonymous, added, “Discussions do not begin with sensitive conversations related to important files, except after ensuring that all cell phones have been removed,” explaining that “most party leaders fear cell phones being hacked, even if there is high trust among leaders.” Parties, but they fear the techniques of spying on their conversations.”
Representative Hanan Al-Fatlawi previously indicated that “the coordination framework is a male entity,” and when she was asked about the reason in a televised interview, she explained that “a leader refused women’s attendance at state administration meetings because of the popcorn (meaning insults and insults).”
This is an indication that political dialogues sometimes witnessed the uttering of insults, as well as politicians attacking each other and making accusations of corruption.
Fear of phones being hacked
. For his part, the representative in the Iraqi parliament, Muhammad Al-Sayhoud, said, “Political discussions maintain decorum, but angry feelings may occur sometimes, and politicians are like the rest of humanity. They quarrel and talk sometimes takes place in ways of blaming, arguing, and long negotiations,” explaining. In an interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, he said, “Fabrication and artificial intelligence programs sometimes distort the facts, and we are well aware of that.”
Al-Sayhud believed that “hacking phones is part of the tasks of some parties hostile to the Iraqi political system, and they usually threaten the electronic security of politicians. Therefore, it must be confronted with caution, which is normal, especially since Iraq is witnessing political tensions, and there are external parties seeking to undermine leaders.” The political process,” in explaining the ban on phones in Iraq and adhering to this matter.
As for political analyst Ahmed Al-Sharifi, he pointed out that “the crisis of confidence between parties, leaders and members of political blocs increased greatly after the leak of audio recordings and video clips of politicians and candidates for ministries swearing obedience and loyalty, perhaps because these parties were not paying attention to modern developments in digital security.” But she is currently afraid of any problem of this kind, and this has led her to move toward caution and caution and not speak boldly, except in very small circles.”
Al-Sharifi pointed out in an interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “directives are issued from time to time within party circles to take into account digital security and not open anonymous links, in addition to securing phones to prevent any case of spying or eavesdropping,” stressing that “audio leaks from officials are a security phenomenon.” Intelligence operations occur all over the world, but some recordings usually represent a shock to the parties’ audiences, especially when they contradict national or peaceful discourse.”
