Iraqi politician: Al-Kazemi's visit to Washington aims to end the negotiation file on the American withdrawal الانسحاب 1625992085453

Shafaq News/ Bahaa Al-Araji, an Iraqi politician and former Deputy Prime Minister, said on Sunday that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi's upcoming visit to the United States aims to end the scheduling of the withdrawal of US forces from the country.

Al-Araji said, in a statement posted on social media platforms "Twitter", that the goal of the expected visit of the Prime Minister to the United States of America is to end the negotiation file on scheduling the American withdrawal from Iraq and issue a decision to that.

He added, "Any upcoming escalation will delay the issuance of this decision, and whoever raises the slogan of removing the occupier should stand with the Prime Minister and support him to achieve this national demand."

On Saturday, the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, the most prominent armed Shiite faction in Iraq, revealed the existence of mediations from various parties with the aim of stopping the military escalation against the US forces in the country.

The Kataeb's spokesman, Kazem Al-Fartousi, told Shafaq News Agency, "The Iraqi Islamic resistance strongly rejected any mediation regarding stopping military operations against the American forces."

He added that "the military escalation against the American forces came in order to completely remove the American combat forces from all Iraqi lands, otherwise there will be no calm and the escalation will not be stopped, no matter what the pressures are on the factions."

This comes at a time when the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), on Friday, ruled out a "military solution" to respond to the attacks on US forces in Iraq.

On Thursday, the "Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq" movement considered that the Shiite armed factions had exhausted all diplomatic means with the US forces in Iraq, and that they had no choice but to confront the United States.

On January 5 last year, the Iraqi parliament voted on a resolution demanding the federal government to work to expel foreign forces from the country, after the assassination of the prominent Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, and the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, "Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis" near the airport. Baghdad International Airport by a US drone.

About fifty attacks have targeted US interests in Iraq since the beginning of the year, including the US embassy in Baghdad and Iraqi military bases that include Americans, and the Baghdad and Erbil airports, as well as logistical convoys of the international coalition, in attacks often attributed to groups loyal to Iran.
