Meanwhile, the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), composed mainly of Shiite militias, have gone through a process of state legitimization, becoming a part of Iraq’s security forces. Given that Tehran supports large parts of the PMU both militarily and financially, the PMU presence in the Mosul operation has undoubtedly caused concern in Washington about the possible expansion of Iran’s influence in Iraq.
While Iranian officials reject the notion that Iran supports the PMU with the purpose of increasing its regional clout and expanding its sphere of influence in Iraq, the support does indeed greatly serve Iranian interests. Thus, one of the key objectives of the United States in post-IS Mosul will likely be to seek to control and contain Iranian influence.
In other words, the PMU may be on a collision course with the United States and its partners in northern Iraq.
In this equation, it should be borne in mind that Iran directly ties the security of its borders to the security and stabilization of Mosul. Brig. Gen. Iraj Masjedi, a senior adviser to Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force (the foreign operations branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), has called the fight against IS tantamount to defense of the security and geopolitical situation of Iran.
Masjedi — Iran’s incoming ambassador to Iraq — said March 9 in Tehran that the Islamic Republic will definitely support Iraq's territorial integrity. He further emphasized the importance of Iran's fostering Iraqi security forces after victory in Mosul and the defeat of IS in order to prevent the possible formation of other clandestine terrorist groups.
He also expressed support for further security cooperation between Iran and Iraq, besides the ongoing military collaboration. In other words, Iranian officials see Iran's presence in Iraq as a matter of ensuring Iran’s own national security and not simply as part of a power struggle.
to deal with such complicating situation < the following scenarios to be taken into consideration:
1- USA is always chose the wrong men, they have done so in Iraq , so why clinch to different ideas , they already sponsored meetings in Europe and Turkey , the attendants came with one idea, deny others their legitimate rights ( both attacking Shiaats for their, rights for visiting holey Shiaat shrines , ask the kurds to go back to 2003 borders , they did not claim what they are already denied off , so it is the same policy of BAATH party .
2- Who trust iraqi politicians that emerged after 2003 with the aid of United states , they robbed the country of the huge wealth, USA already kb=new that but do nothing .
3- Iraqi Shiaat got ties with Iran, both are shiaat , what ties Iraqies with USA , the south baptist church that say ( our GOD is not the same as yours )<they came to iraq trying to exploit Christians to convert to become baptist , and there is too many indication that they pushed MR. Bush junior to wage war against Iraq .
4- United states practice of reconstruction , it proved that it is total disaster , they already with mine removal , handed it to so called sterling company that was security company only 5 years ago , there is kurdish companies with experience dating back to 1991 , but they get nothing , so USA is about to shut down that industry that saved the live of million of kurds .
5- We all knew that sunni are opportunist and shiaat are thieves ( polticians ) ,sunni working for greater dictatorship than before as they believe they are the only one that must run the country , the shiaat claim the same .
6- Iran has armed militias in Iraq , many fight in Syria , ABADI on last visit to Washington told Mr. TRUMP that popular Mobilization is a legitimate entity . so how America can remove it , many of such Militia were armed by the government , many ABRAMS TANKS handed to them, but they are outside the control of the government.
7- ministry of interior : it is 100% percent owned by Iran: Badr owns it , Badr is Iranian strong arm in Iraq , the federal police is so powerful, that it owns mechanized division,swat , special forces , it counts to more than 2 fully armed divisions .
8- Noori Almaliky is Irans most powerful agent , with 50 billion USD at his disposal , now ( DEFACTO ) in control of the parliament , and buying everyone ( sunni and shiaat ) .
9- Islamic party that follows TURKEY : do you think Salim Al-JIBOURY shall not convoy all American plans to RAJAB TAIB ARDOGAN ,the most wanted man by USA , Salim is ascertaining his position , raising his salary and benefits to be equal to prime Minister , he might stand against Iranian influence , but only to strengthen his party and ARDUGAN influence in Iraq so another wave of Islamic brotherhood will emerge.Islamist are opportunist, they do anything to strengthen their position , no matter what is the consequences, already we have Shiaat in Iraq and Muslim brother hood in EGYPT, both tried to destroy their own country , they have no alliance to their own country , sovereignty is a word they do not understand , the Americans shall come with much worse solution, not solutions ,
we experienced USA democracy since 2003 till this moment , it does harm much more than you can imagine.
