Tishwash: An Iraqi analyst told "Fares": The presence of the representative of the US Treasury in the Commercial Bank of Iraq is a violation of Iraq's sovereignty
Iraqi analyst Haitham Al-Khuzaie referred to the interventions of the US ambassador in Iraq's internal and external affairs, stressing that the presence of the US Treasury representative in the Commercial Bank of Iraq is a violation of Iraq's sovereignty and is rejected by every honorable Iraqi citizen.
The prominent Iraqi analyst said in an interview with Fars News Agency in this regard: How can a country build its internal and international political experience while the representative of the United Nations and the American ambassador are still interfering in its internal and external affairs, stressing that the interventions of the American ambassador and the representative of the United Nations must be limited by official means and binding them to the contexts of diplomatic action.
With regard to the statements of Iraqi officials about Iraqi sovereignty, while the representative of the US Treasury Department visits the Commercial Bank of Iraq to monitor the movement of Iraqi funds? Haitham Al-Khuzaie replied: The presence of the representative of the US Treasury in the Commercial Bank of Iraq is a violation of the sovereignty of Iraq and is rejected by every honorable Iraqi citizen. The first step is to be transparent with the people, then move officially with popular support and expel American employees from Iraqi institutions.
Regarding the unwillingness of some Iraqi politicians not to clash with the United States and believe that it has tools to put pressure on the country, the question that arises is, did China, Russia, India, Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam build their renaissance despite America's nose? The Iraqi political analyst said: The American forces did not leave Iraq in 2011 except by force, and it is possible for people to demonstrate to expel them and for the government to officially ask them to do so, then the force option remains on the table.
It is noteworthy that the head of the "Al-Fateh" coalition in Iraq, Hadi al-Amiri, recently accused the United States of America of controlling Iraq's money, and said: It is necessary to work to achieve economic sovereignty in Iraq after the security and political stability that Iraq is currently witnessing, and added: It is shameful that the money of Iraq is controlled by an employee in the American treasury. link
