America cuts off arms contracts… Washington’s influence continues and “Iraq’s skies are without sovereignty”
Information / Exclusive: The United States of America continues to dominate and impose its will on the issue of concluding contracts to arm the Iraqi army, and developing the air defense system that the country lacks, in addition to the inability to control the Iraqi airspace.
Washington is deliberately thwarting all of Iraq’s moves towards concluding contracts with countries around the world, the latest of which is putting pressure on Sudanese not to send the Minister of Defense to complete the purchase of new military aircraft from the French company Rafale, and this confirms America’s continued influence over the political, security and economic file through the many cards it uses.
Earlier, the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Yahya Rasoul, confirmed that the American administration did not provide Iraq with an air system, but rather prevented it, or helped us build the Iraqi army.
Stop Iraq’s interests?
Speaking about this file, the Al-Fatah Alliance accused the United States of America of halting Iraq’s military interests in order to continue its dominance over army arms contracts, calling for the need for the government to move towards concluding arms contracts from other countries of the world.
The leader of the coalition, Ali Al-Fatlawi, said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “The importance of removing American forces from the country at this stage represents the first steps in achieving full sovereignty for the country,” noting that “economic liberation from Washington’s influence will represent a qualitative transition for all files.”
He added, “The policy of controlling the capabilities of the state and the Iraqi people in general has reached very dangerous stages,” pointing out that “Washington is using ISIS in order to put pressure on the country on many issues, and to obstruct any development that the country is witnessing.”
Al-Fatlawi concludes his speech: “America dominates the economic, security and political file, and this is what made Iraq lack an air defense system or the conclusion of contracts to purchase military aircraft.” Stressing that “America halted Iraq’s military interests in order to continue its control over army armament contracts.”
Washington pressure
In addition, an informed source reveals the reasons for not completing the deal to arm the army and the contract to purchase military aircraft from France, while he confirmed that Washington asked the Sudanese not to send the Minister of Defense to complete contracts to purchase French “Rafale” aircraft.
The source, who preferred to remain anonymous, said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “Washington tried by all means to thwart the deal that Iraq was counting on to develop air defense,” noting that “these pressures are an extension of the policy of hegemony that America is pursuing against Iraq”.
He continues, “Washington prevented Iraq from contracting for weapons and military aircraft on many occasions, especially from Eastern countries,” pointing out that “the United States of America believes that the completion of these deals is a painful blow to the hegemony that it holds.”
The source concluded his speech: “Continuing to fight and thwart the government’s move towards developing weapons and building an advanced air defense system will undermine Iraq in confronting security risks,” adding that “Washington asked the Sudanese not to send the Minister of Defense to complete contracts to purchase French Rafale aircraft.”
Despite the many offers that Iraq received in the previous period to conclude contracts for arming and developing air defenses in order to end the continuous bombing on Iraqi territory, the American administration obstructed all of these attempts for the purpose of continuing to control arms contracts on the one hand and Iraq’s failure to develop militarily on the other hand.
