State Of Law: We Respect The Government’s Decision Regarding The Exit Or Stay Of Coalition Forces In Iraq

Earth News / State of Law member, Jassim Muhammad Jaafar, confirmed today, Tuesday, that we are in favor of removing ground forces and combat forces from Iraq, but we respect the government’s decision when it deems that their stay for a certain period is necessary due to the resolution of the battle with ISIS.

Jaafar said in an exclusive interview with Earth News, “Removing the American and coalition forces from Iraq is purely a governmental matter, because according to the agreement, it is the exit of the forces after the events of ISIS, and these forces returned at the request of the government, and their removal must be done through the government.”

He added, “It is not correct for us to enter Parliament or involve the masses in this issue because it affects the relationship between the components, as happened in the Parliament issue. We saw that the Kurdish brothers spoke frankly, and the Sunnis as well, showed a kind of shame in not standing clearly against the removal of the forces.”

Jaafar explained, “We are in favor of removing ground forces and combat forces from Iraq, but we respect the government’s decision when it deems that their stay for a certain period is necessary due to the resolution of the battle with ISIS and some tense areas or with control of the skies of Iraq due to Iraq’s weak capabilities or the need for training.”

He pointed out, “All of these issues relate to the government. We respect its decision, but we support the exit of these forces as soon as possible.”

The CBI Cancels The Operation Of The Largest Iranian Bank In The Country

The CBI has canceled the operating license of the largest Iranian bank in Iraq, the National Bank of Iran (Milli), due to international sanctions and the bank’s limited operations in Iraq, according to what Reuters reported on Thursday.

Reuters said that this decision was contained in a document of the Central Bank of Iraq dated January 31, 2024.

The document stated, “In light of the losses incurred by your branch in Iraq, its limited activities, its inability to implement or expand banking activities, and…its inclusion in international sanctions, it has been decided to cancel your license.”

In 2018, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Bank Melli, claiming that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is using it to “distribute funds to Iraqi Shiite armed groups, and that Bank Melli’s presence in Iraq is part of this scheme.”

Iraq, which has reserves of more than $100 billion in the United States, is counting heavily on Washington’s goodwill to ensure that its access to oil revenues and money is not blocked.

Iraq recently banned eight local commercial banks from conducting transactions in US dollars and took measures to reduce fraud, money laundering and other illegal uses of the US currency in a move welcomed by the US Treasury Department.

According to Iraqi and American officials, Iraq prevented 14 banks in July 2023 from conducting dollar transactions as part of a broader campaign aimed at reducing the smuggling of dollars into Iran through the Iraqi banking system after a request from Washington, according to Reuters.
