The US, defeated and disgraced throughout our region, if not the whole world, is trying to make a stealth comeback through the postern, and this time in Iraq.
The American hand is barely concealed in the recent incidents of violence wracking Iraq, whether in the kidnapping and killing of people by remnants of the macabre head-chopping and raw human liver-chewing Takfiri terrorists, or the blasphemous acts and anti-Islamic slogans of miscreants that have infiltrated the protest rallies in some southern towns and cities because of economic problems.
Washington is mad with rage at the patriotic people of Iraq, including the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) that were formed on the instructions of Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Sistani to defend the country against the sudden surge in 2014 of the Takfiri terrorists which armed by Israel, funded by Saudi Arabia, and directed by the US, seized Mosul and were rapidly advancing toward the capital Baghdad until stopped, rolled back and decisively defeated, thanks to the timely training and supply of weapons by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This made the US to hastily change its tactics and by pressuring certain sections of the Iraqi government it staged an ‘official’ military comeback in order to airdrop crates of arms to the terrorists and to target Iraqi troops and PMU positions on the pretext of ‘mistaken identity’.
When this plan also failed, thanks to the steadfastness of the PMU, the US realized that the Takfiri takeover of Iraq was a lost cause, and in a bid to retain its foothold it made a token contribution to the liberation of Mosul, but made sure that the terrorist ringleaders, such as the Zionist agent Abu Bakr Baghdadi, will not fall into the hands of the Iraqis or their Iranian advisors, by stealthily evacuating them to safe sites across the border in Syria.
Then, with last May’s general elections further foiling its bid through the polls to install a client regime in Baghdad, the US has tried every trick up its sleeve to prevent the hung parliament from forming a broad-based national government, but so far all its efforts have been in vain since the parties representing Iraq’s majority community have together emerged as the winners.
The soon to be formed national government is not only expected to be a firm link in the chain of the Resistant Front stretching from Iran to Lebanon through Syria, but also officially terminate the mandate of American military presence on Iraqi soil.
A truly independent Iraq does not need any US or European troops, and has to knit ranks with its friendly neighbours, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has always championed the cause of the oppressed Iraqi people, whether the Arab Shi’a Muslim majority or the ethnic Kurds, right from the days of repression of the Ba’th minority regime of Saddam and throughout the 8-year war the US had imposed on Iran in a vain attempt to create bad blood between the two fraternal Muslim peoples.
It was Iran which hosted millions of Iraqis during their persecution at the hands of the American-assisted and Saudi-supported Saddam. In view of this fact, it is but natural for Iraq and its patriotic people to acknowledge "the friend in need is a friend indeed”.
Moreover, right since the Islamization of Mesopotamia and the Iranian Plateau the Iraqis and Iranians have been beside each other, sharing a common religion centred on devotion for the Prophet’s Blessed Household (Ahl al-Bayt) and an urbanized culture that saw the building of the city of Baghdad over a millennium ago by the Abbasids on the advice of their Iranian viziers and in accordance with the plans drawn by Iranian architects.
So, how could the upstart Americans break such a firm bond that is steeped in history, spanning more than a millennium of Islamic brotherhood – and much more in view of the fact that for 8 centuries before the advent of Islam Ctesiphon near Baghdad was the capital of Iran’s Parthian and Sassanid Empires, which assisted by the Babylonians and migrant Arab tribes like the Lakhmids (Banu Lakhm, originally from Yemen), thwarted the repeated bids of the Roman Empire to expand eastward into Syria and Mesopotamia?
Now, in another self-defeatist move that will eventually see the final exit of the US from the whole region, the harebrained Donald Trump and his team of stupid thugs who resort to preposterous lies and have no information whatsoever about the nations of Iran and Iraq, think that the sloganeering of some paid miscreants against Iran and the patriotic popular forces of Iraq in the protest rallies, will turn Mesopotamia into a pro-American land for infiltrating Iran and disrupting the link of the Resistant Front that travels all the way towards the Mediterranean Sea and Occupied Palestine that is awaiting liberation.
As we have been saying for the past few decades, right through the years of the 8-year imposed war, Iran and Iraq share a common destiny, which means it is the practical vision of the God-oriented system of the Islamic Republic which has been the winner in the face of the most severe US sanctions that will again decisively defeat any American plot, irrespective of its political or military magnitude.
