Iraq and the United States of America .. Renewed Dialogue and Guarantees for Both Parties
Prof. Dr. Ali Fares Hamid
With Iraq’s victory over the terrorist organization ISIS in 2017, and thinking about reassessing foreign relations at the bilateral and multi levels, the mindset of the concerned institutions and political forces is occupied, especially with regard to the scope of alliances and the review of agreements concluded, whether with the United States of America or other countries, as the military readiness was not sufficient and the military support and security was not within the appropriate timing to put the strategic accounts in a state of continuous review and concern about any development that might precipitate the collapse of the political system. However, the moment of victory and the variables that arose as a result of the different actors at the internal level had multiple effects on the decision-making process and Iraq’s external trends.
The indiscriminate strikes targeting diplomatic missions and the popular movement in October 2019 contributed to a number of variables that arose due to divergent visions and the lack of national achievement, especially after the victory over the terrorist organization ISIS and the illogical reviews of international force accounts, which moved the clash of interests towards Iraq between the major powers in the the international system and the main regional powers in the region, which had negative repercussions on security and internal stability in Iraq.
