Deepening a crisis that has heightened fears of a major Middle East conflagration, Iran said it was taking another step back from commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal with six major powers.
Talking to reporters aboard Air Force One on the way to Washington from Florida on Sunday evening, Trump stood by those comments. He said if Iraq asked US forces to leave on an unfriendly basis, “we will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.”
Iran and the United States have been competing for clout in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003 that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein.Before Trump’s comments to reporters, a State Department spokeswoman said the United States was waiting for clarification of the legal nature and impact of the resolution, and strongly urged Iraqi leaders to reconsider the importance of the two nations’ ongoing economic and security relationship.
Sunday’s parliamentary resolution was passed by overwhelmingly Shi’ite lawmakers, as the special session was boycotted by most Sunni Muslim and Kurdish lawmakers. It was Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the deal in 2018 and reimposition of sanctions on Iran that touched off a new spiral of tensions after a brief thaw following the accord.
America has forever being a devil in disguise. We have American Swiss but no SA Swiss. And so called own the mineral resource after all. So dealing with Americans you gotta prepare for the worst and still plan for the best to come out
Sounds like the US is bigger than the US.
Whenever these american leaders dont have it there way ..they entice sanctions..like it's going to make a difference...we are Muslim and we now how to fight hardship..sabaar and shukaar..are the ultimate weapons for your sanctions bring it on
This is a man that said in his campaign speech in 2016 he want to pull out of Iraq,and want to stop the endless wars.Killing innocent people on wars built on lies,and occupying other people's countries, are profitable for America.
It is the rights of Iraqis to remove invaders..just like how americans do with other foreign nationals..the iraqis shouldn't just send them back..iraqis should castrate these troupes..sou they don't ever come back
