The Iraqi PM now is a caretaker after his resignation last month. He has no right to make that decisions. It can only happen If the next PM take that decision and I think this is very unlikely.
Iran v US confrontation
- Thread starter 4bars
- Start date
Very likely . And there is not a thing the US can do about it.
How is this restoring calm? it is not like they took down all the Iranian regime!!!
Not likely now. Specially at the moment.
PNAC is back
They’re falling in with Trump’s “this was to de-escalate” narrative.
The man who is likely to be the next PM has already said that . This is a win win for Iraq as they are calling for all Foreign troops to leave. It is good that they can get rid of all foreign troops.

Ta da!
Based on some googling, Iran's breakout time is 7-12 months once they start enrichment. So hypothetically, without intervention, Iran could conceivably test a bomb before November.

Trump nicks the oilfields and wins the 2020 election.
Then Back to insulting / threatening Kim fatty the third
The scenes in Iranian parliament were bizarre. Like a pack of wild raging animals and these are supposed to be government officials?
At least it will accelerate the end of the world. Don't want too many future generations to face the fallouts of our sins.
I added an edit of how long it would take Iran to get enough material to build a bomb: 7-12 months. So this could get out of hand quickly.
will Liverpool win their 20th title by then?

So they didn't withdraw completely from the JCPOA, but they just won't abide by any restrictions on enrichment. I'm not sure how much different that is than withdrawing, but I guess it gives them a way to walk it back in the future rather than a clean break.
Honestly some people are idiots, no idea of the concept of power outside military means. They seem to be ohh so common in America too.
No need to worry about global warming... Bring on the nuclear winter
And he's managed to withdraw all American troops from Iraq

It's crazy how quickly shit can escalate when idiots stand on both sides of an conflict.
This is probably the most important piece of this so far assuming it's all legitimate:
Might have been mentioned elsewhere in the thread but just read reporters from NPR, the Washington Post and the Guardian initially reported that Trump asked the Iraqi PM to mediate with Iran through Soleimani and he was killed right before he got to the meeting.
Apparently the Iraqi PM has now confirmed this to be the case with a statement.
No wonder Iraq would be pissed off as well.

In the longer term its more basic than that:
1990s-2010s - Iraqi oil
2020s-2030s - Irani oil
2040s-2080s? - Gulf states and Saudi oil
Why the feck will China, Russia, US, UK want a war. They want the spoils.
Hope against hope there is no war.
No innocents are lost.
No innocents are lost.
That’s not basic at all. It’s just wrong.
Well done Trump . Great negotiator .Obama could not have done any better.
Was just a filler for the War Machine Inc to keep rolling, while prepping for the more lucrative action.

A lot of Republican ears just pricked up.
In the event that the new Iraqi PM decides to go through with such a request, the Americans could respond by immediately recognizing the independence of Kurdistan and its claim to Kirkuk, in effect bringing an end to Iraq as we’ve known it for 100 years.
Some of the comments were gold. I think my favorite was.. “Does anyone have a link to the crowdfunding page”.
Ummm... no.
More and more material for the Dumbo's reelection.
Crazy stuff. Trump might well decide 'feck it, let's drone the Ayatollah first'.
If we're still dependent on oil by 2030 then we'll have bigger issues to worry about.
Of course we'll be dependent on oil by 2030. It's just 10 years away.
I am sure all american personnel and civilians in the ME feels much more secure now , as that moron Pompeo stated.
Gotta say one thing - Iran is absolutely terrible at capitalizing on moments such as these to sway public opinion. I agree that things like that bounty only bolster someone like Trump and followers.
While all of this happens let us remind ourselves of how useless and pointless of an organization the united nations is.
I dont see enough hate thrown towards the U.N. they are nothing but an extension of the wealthy nations

It's in the NY Times article I linked several pages back right after it was published.
The powers behind the industry will make sure we're dependent.
