The American Washington Institute called for finding a way for the US to interfere in the formation of the new Iraqi government under the pretext of preserving US interests, calling on Washington to closely monitor the actions of the new leadership and to obligate Baghdad to measurable standards.
A report by the institute, translated by the information agency, stated, “In light of the current circumstances, the United States and its partners in the political process in Iraq must work calmly and insistently to re-conduct early elections, and monitor the failure of Iraqi leaders to launch a campaign against Western-leaning officials.” According to the report
He added, “Maintaining Iraq’s close relationship with the West is really at stake at the present time, and this partnership can only be guaranteed by setting firm expectations in this regard.”
He continued, “What threatens American interests is the emergence of a government supported by the Iraqi resistance factions, although many international observers are understandably relieved. Al-Sudani is a former minister and a professional and attractive politician. His government is expected to make some progress in terms of technocratic qualifications and ethnic and sectarian integration.”
“However, the relationship with Washington may remain tense, perhaps more slowly if the Democrats hold the White House and Congress, but the more immediate potential ramifications are stark,” he said.
And the report threatened that “if the new government purges or marginalizes America’s trusted partners in the military and intelligence service, Washington may immediately downgrade Baghdad as a partner that can be trusted with sensitive intelligence and technology, and the US Treasury will likely begin to cut Baghdad’s access to the dollar and the global financial system.
The report stressed that “there must be a rapid commitment to holding early elections under an electoral law that may improve the chances of preserving democracy and curb instability, based on the promise that independents, Sadrists, and reformists will try to “try again” in elections in which the status of The government formation rules are before the results are announced, not after, so Congress should require the Biden administration to regularly brief lawmakers on developments in Iraq under the Sudanese government and if the measure fails, then the US budgeted aid can be reduced. finished/ 25 z
