Iran Registers Another Victory in Iraq
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi has caved to the threats of pro-Iranian militias and on June 29, 2020, allowed the release of 14 terrorist operatives who launched rocket attacks on U.S. targets in the country. Kadhimi had promised Americans a month ago in the first round of Iraqi-U.S. strategic talks to stop the attacks on U.S. military in Iraq. As soon as they were freed, the 14 went to the center of Baghdad to celebrate, where they trampled images of Kadhimi and set fire to Israeli and U.S. flags. The obvious conclusion is that the pro-Iranian militias can effectively veto any political decision that they do not approve.
