America breaches the treaty with Iraq; violating Baghdad’s “independence” and “sovereignty” and the repetition of empty promises of withdrawal.
In the few weeks since Donald Trump assumed the presidency of the United States, the market for discussion and speculation about possible Tehran-Washington negotiations has been hot; negotiations that had previously begun indirectly, despite opposition, and led to the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA), but Trump unilaterally withdrew from it during his first term in office, despite Iran’s constructive cooperation, and imposed the most severe anti-Iranian sanctions in the form of “maximum pressure” on Tehran.
In this regard, on Friday morning (February 19), the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, in a gathering of commanders and staff of the Air Force and Air Defense, considered it necessary to use the experience of “two years of negotiations, concessions, and concessions but without concluding,” and added: The United States violated the same treaty despite its shortcomings and withdrew from it. Therefore, negotiating with such a government is unwise, unintelligent, and dishonorable, and one should not negotiate with it.
In addition to the JCPOA, a historical look at the history of America’s commitments and agreements with other countries in the world reveals the futility and even harm of these talks, with the broken and unfinished agreements between America and Iraq being an example of such cases.
Why was America not a reliable ally for Iraq?
In recent decades, US-Iraq relations have always been influenced by military interventions, political agreements, and security agreements. From the occupation of Iraq in 2003 to the withdrawal of American forces and subsequent military agreements, Washington has repeatedly violated its commitments and used Iraq as a tool to advance its strategic goals. These policies have not only caused instability in Iraq but have also severely reduced the trust of the people and officials of this country in the United States. In this article, we will examine the most important cases of US violations of commitments towards Iraq and their consequences.
