The USA Takes out Top Iranian General

   Hostilities between Iraq and Iran go back many years. Since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the political situation between Iraq and Iran changed significantly. This happens with the help[ of the US, the rise of ISIS as well as the rise of sectarianism. All of this led to  the development of Iranian influence over Iraq.

The Iranian strategy is the creation of the Shi’i crescent as it was stated by top Iranian political leadership.

As of 1/5/2020, the Iranian government created an open road from Iran to the Mediterranean through Iraq and Syria.

The strategy was implemented over the years by the late top general Qassim Suleiman who was assassinated by US air force in the Iraqi airport. He was flying in after visiting Lebanon and Syria.

This assassination fueled the aggression of the Iranian militia in Iraq. The later has frequently attacked the American Embassy in Baghdad. Moreover, the Iranian militia was also responsible for the killing of many of the young Iraqi protestors who were demanding an end to American and Iranian influences in Iraq.

During the previous three months the young protestors were calling for the resignation of the Iraqi government. It was estimated that more than 450 young protestors were killed as of the end of December 2019.

Most of reports accused the Iranian militia of killing and kidnapping some of the young protestors, who were demanding the departure of Iranian and American forces from Iraq. In addition, the protestors demanded the resignation of the present corrupt Iraqi government, and replacing it by a national government that is not affiliated to the present political parties
