Expert: Iraq needs a US envoy to address current circumstances and regional crises

Security expert Fadel Abu Raghif confirmed on Friday that Iraq needs an American envoy, similar to other countries that send their own envoys.
Abu Raghif added in a statement to Al Furat News Agency that “the United States has great influence in the region and holds the primary role in changing the balance of power in the Middle East.”

He explained that Iraq is currently going through dire circumstances, including the holding of elections and their results, political transformation, and democratic transition.
He also pointed out that “the expected war on Iran and the worsening situation in Syria, Gaza, and Iran are all factors that make the presence of an American representative necessary and important for the purpose of managing dealing with matters.”
The security expert pointed out that among these issues that need to be discussed are the economic aspect that has affected Iraqi banks and the placement of Iraqi figures on the terrorist list. He expressed his belief that this envoy may understand some of the problems and reconsider them again.

US President Donald Trump’s appointment of the 40-year-old Iraqi businessman, Mark Savaya, as a special envoy to Iraq represents an exciting turning point in the bilateral relationship.

This decision has sparked widespread discussion in Iraqi political and security circles, as it is viewed as an indication of a new American trend towards directly dealing with the Iraqi issue, away from the usual diplomatic channels. Observers believe that Savaya’s business background, political allegiance, and Iraqi roots provide him with a flexible approach to the complex Iraqi landscape.

Envoy Savaya, a Chaldean Christian businessman and CEO of medical cannabis companies, has been praised by Trump for his role in his campaign and his understanding of bilateral relations.
