On Thursday (March 25, 2021), the US ambassador to Baghdad, Matthew Toller, announced four priorities for the new administration in Iraq, including the fight against “ISIS”, while affirming that the strategic goals are “fixed” despite the changing administrations .
Tueller said during his participation in a video conference, “The American strategic objectives are constant despite the change of successive administrations in the White House, but from a practical standpoint, one of the fruits of this American system is that every 4 or 8 years a new administration comes that looks at the challenges with different eyes than Previous administration . ”
He added, “These eyes bring new lenses to some of the challenges we face, but of course there will be continuity, because the United States’ interest in this vital country will not change .”
Toller pointed out that “defeating ISIS remains a US priority security mission in Iraq, and despite the organization’s loss materially, the presence of US forces in Iraq comes upon an invitation from the Iraqi government, to carry out a limited mission that focuses on providing advice and assistance to the Iraqi counterterrorism forces, including: That Peshmerga, to prevent ISIS . ”
The US ambassador emphasized: “To continue to maintain this presence, as long as it is necessary to help the Iraqi government to prevent the return of ISIS and terrorists to threaten the Iraqi people and threaten regional security.”
