The Interior Ministry announced, in the second of this month that its minister Mohammad Al Ghabban has referred a number of officers and Associates in Basra police to Inquiry Council because of their involvement in a demonstration on Friday, claiming to revive the International Day of Jerusalem. The ministry said in its statement that “an order issued by its minister Mohammed Ghaban includes the assignment of a number of officers and Associates in Basra police to the Council of Inquiry and apply the sanctions contained in the penalties Act of the Internal Security Forces , that came after participating in a demonstration of a political nature on Friday the first of July this under the pretext of reviving the International day of Jerusalem “.
In this context, we are looking for the major motive that led the Interior Ministry to refer police officers to the Council of inquiry?
In August 1979 a “Ruhollah Khomeini , ” the commander of the Iranian revolution at that time proposed allocation of the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan to emphasize the opposition of Islamic and the Arab societies to the Israeli occupation of the city of Jerusalem in June 1967, that day was called by the name ” Day of Global Quds”. Or “International Day of the Holy City of Quds.” The Persian – called ” Rose Jahani Quds.” روز جهانى قدس
Some of Iraq’s provinces were not excluded from participating, especially in the post-2003, noting that the group of Iraqi officers participated in the Basra province to celebrate Global Day of Jerusalem (Quds) sponsored by the Iranian regime, but strangely in this review that these officers were trampling on the US flag taking into the consideration the symbolic national and magnitude of this flag to the American people. This act would offend the Iraqi government, and it shows it with the appearance of weakness and embarrassment in front of its US ally who works on training the Iraqi army to help it to cope with facing the terrorist organization Daash and its air forces contribute to hit the organization sites which facilitated the liberation of Ramadi and Fallujah from that regulation.
Some may believe that this act is normal, citing to what as done by the previous Iraqi regime when drawing the American flag on Iraq provinces to trample it, and it also comes in the context of freedom of thought. It is difficult to accept to these two things noting in the first case that the relationship of the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s regime with the United States of America since the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in the second from August 1990 and until the day of the fall of his regime on the ninth of April / May 2003, was characterized by very hostility , as this hostility as taken the nature of air strikes in Iraq by the administration of Clinton in 1998 and George W. Bush in 2001, not to mention the economic embargo of the US imposed on Iraq, which has had a direct negative impact on the economic and social reality of Iraq, and in this tense stage in US-Iraqi relations , the graphic issues by Iraqi regime may be justifiable and understandable , which is not like thisl in the event of Iraq’s post in 2003.Which can be called the Third Republic of Iraq.
The first has been since the era of President Abdul Karim Qasim and ended at the end of the rule of President Abdul Rahman Arif, and the second began with President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr and ended with President Saddam Hussein, and the Third Republic, it is the Republic that the US has contributed directly in its inception when planned and carried out the aggression and then the occupation of Iraq and bring the rule system that is ally for it . thus , it is caring for this new system to govern Iraq, as evidenced by its participation in the Iraqi army and police training and facilitate access to loans from international financial institutions. Here it is not permitted to drop the experience of graphics on each other, so the Republican era especially after the occupation of Kuwait until its second fall was a conflict with the United States which governs the relationship between them , while the alliance of the Third Republic is the most prominent title in a relationship with it.
In the second case , it can be said that the tramping of the police officers in Basra province on the American flag comes in the context of freedom of thought. This is difficult to accept, if not impossible to do so. The officials of the state institutions have their commitment to its intellectual procedure and respect for their state relationship with other countries, any citizen has the full freedom to profess any religion or human thought outside the state institutions framework that does not affect by his intellectual affiliation on his work , you can imagine in the security establishment as an police institution that its members are mult i intellectual affiliation , if one being a Marxist or liberal or socialist or Islamic or existential, then how can the institution to carry out its functions to the fullest, and as long as we talk about freedom of thought, do the President Barack Obama accept that his deputy Joe Biden to be of adherents of Marxist thought? Will American voters accept a candidate for the United States to be the American communist thinking and inclinations , certainly do not. The American people may accept that outside state institutions, but as long as you represent a state , you must be committed to the official state ideology, and this is what is required of Iraqi police to be committed to the trends of the official State and do not do any action that hurts the reputation and prestige of the state.
Ironically, at a time when the citizens of the Iranian city of Assvhann come out in the “World Jerusalem Day” (Al-quds day), the Iranian proposal , demanding the Iranian regime to stop its intervention in Syria, which is a clear signal for refusing blood policies in Syria, the Iraqi police in Basra province, trampling on the American flag, as if the police officers here are turned to be the Iranian officers , However Iranians officers are not doing such act and behavior.
In summary of saying , what happened by the police officers in Basra province in today’s global Jerusalem confirms that the Iranian “revolutionary” regime was able to spread to all of Iraq’s institutions and especially the security and proved to the US administration that Iraq is not the rear garden, but the front one , and Iraq’s Third Republic is moving towards the valyat Faqih and that the Iranian regime will keep with all of its strength to the great prize awarded Intentionally or unintentionally by the administration of “George W. Bush” on the ninth of April / May 2003, and Obama’s policies toward it later, the United States of America occupies Iraq and the Iranian regime employs its outputs to serve its expansionist project in the Arab Mashreq , which starts from Iraq.
