The US Secretary of State addressed Iranophobia with an interventionist approach in a phone call with Sudani.
According to Ashura News, citing Tasnim news agency, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani of what he called the possibility of a pro-Iranian government forming in Iraq, during a phone call.
In the phone call, he expressed hope that the next Iraqi government would work to transform the country into a “force for stability, prosperity, and security in the Middle East.”
According to a US State Department official, Rubio claimed that a government controlled by Iran would not prioritize Iraq’s interests and could not keep Iraq out of regional conflicts or maintain a mutually beneficial partnership between the United States and Iraq.
The Coordination Framework of Iraq’s largest Shiite coalition unanimously nominated Nouri al-Maliki as its candidate for prime minister at its recent meeting.
Nouri al-Maliki was prime minister of Iraq from 2006 to 2014; This period is considered one of the most tense periods in Iraq due to its coincidence with the occupation of Iraq and the end of the US military presence in 2011, and the attack by ISIS terrorists in 2014.
