TEHRAN (Iran News) – Reports suggest that the US Administration has issued a draft of possible sanctions against Iraq to the Iraqi President Barham Salih.
The draft aims to clarify the consequences of possible sanctions for the Iraq government, a source told Skynews.
US President Donald Trump has threatened Iraq with imposing ‘very big sanctions’ if the Iraqi parliament follows through its nonbinding resolution to oust American forces from its soil.
“We will charge them sanctions as they’ve never seen before, ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame,” Trump tweeted.
The Iraqi official told the ambassador that Iraq is doing everything it can to prevent a descent into open war after the US assassinated Iranian commander Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike.
In an extraordinary session on Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted for a resolution requiring the government to order the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
The Parliament’s decision comes as US terrorist forces assassinated Iran’s Gen. Soleimani and Iraq’s deputy MPU al-Muhandis on Friday airstrikes at the order of Trump himself.
In a Monday meeting, Iraq’s prime minister announced and delivered his country’s Parliament plan for ending US troops presence in Iraq to the American ambassador in Baghdad Matthew H. Tueller.
Earlier, he official spokesman of al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance said that the movement is ready for military measures against US forces in Iraq.
