The source said that «Iran has made this request at a critical time now that Abadi does not want to intersect with Iran, which needs to be satisfied in its struggle with its opponents and partners together to take over the presidency of the next government, and can not take the risk and the removal of American experts and advisers or non-renewal of the Convention And secondly because of the objective reason that Iraq is not technically ready yet at the level of confrontation (urging) without the American effort supported at all levels » .
