Western media quoted the former US ambassador to Iraq Douglas Silliman his skeptical vision in the declaration of Ammar al-Hakim, the leader of the wisdom movement to leave the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and move to the ranks of the opposition.
According to the US ambassador, who left his post in Baghdad this year after nearly two years of diplomatic work, the accession of Hakim and his current to the opposition of Abdul Mahdi, is a ploy to give Iran full control of the reins of power in Iraq.
Douglas, who had remarks against the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said that the Iraqi Shiite rulers want to ensure control over all the power joints in the Iraqi state, so that if the “Shiite government” that leads the country now under the chairmanship of Abdul Mahdi in its tasks, The Shiite opposition is also leading the scene and appearing as a defender of Iraqi interests.
The US ambassador said that the practice of Shiite currents in Iraq this role gives it greater authority and control over the country, which represents a direct threat to US interests in the Middle East and not in Iraq, adding that allowing more control of the Shiites in Iraq, Washington will lose one of the most important in the region.
Which prompted him to demand quickly the intervention of Washington with its Sunni allies in Iraq and the countries surrounding it to stop Iran’s control and dominance over Baghdad and the region which is the richest and most important region in the world, he said.
