Iraq’s future in h – s of US, Iran, – Arab states – Kurd source

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Iraq’s future has fallen in the hands of the U.S., Iran, and Arab countries, Kurdish Lawmaker Mahmoud Othman said on Wednesday. “The United States has become the number one player within the Iraqi arena through its embassy in Baghdad, especially when it comes to issues related to the formation of the new Iraqi government,” Othman told IraqiNews.com news agency. He noted that Iran and Arab countries occupy the second and third positions after the U.S. in this regard. “Iraqi political blocs are not flexible and give no concessions during negotiations, a matter that allows the U.S., Iran, and Arab states to intervene in Iraq’s internal issues,” Othman explained. He stressed that U.S. solutions to Iraqi problems are to preserve U.S. interests in Iraq. MH (P)/SR 1
