RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Abbas Ka’bi, a member ‎of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, referred to the unexpected trip of the President of the United ‎States, Donald Trump, to Iraq and explained the behind-the-scene details of this trip and ‎warned against the new conspiracy of the United States.‎

On December 26th, Trump spent a few hours visiting troops at the Ayn al-Asad Airbase in ‎Iraq’s western al-Anbar Governorate, stopping short of visiting the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.‎

The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom added that Trump’s visit to the ‎American forces in Iraq and his announcement that he has no intention to withdraw troops ‎from Iraq is a sign of the imperialism, tyranny and anti-popular spirit of Trump and the ‎Americans.‎

He argued that Trump, in contrast to diplomatic conventions and in open humiliation to the ‎Iraqi people and government, went to Iraq and took a commemorative picture with the ‎American soldiers stationed there and said, “During the same visit, the president of the ‎United States announced that he will use the American bases in Iraq to attack Syria, which is ‎considered as a power trip.”

Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “Of course, this action by Trump is a sign of his weakness and fear. ‎Just as Trump suddenly visits the American bases, it’s a sign of fear because he’s afraid of ‎confronting the Iraqi people and the government.”‎

Emphasizing that the Iraqi Islamic Resistance Forces will never allow Americans to establish ‎Iraq as their base to attack Syria and other countries, His Eminence said, “This stance of the ‎Trump is a sign of the Americans’ aggressive and arrogant nature and the Iraqi Resistance ‎will definitely confront this.”‎

He said, “Just as the Iraqi Resistance forces swept the Americans out of the country and ‎were victorious over them after the fall of Saddam Husayn, this stubborn move by Trump ‎has made it such that the American bases in Iraq aren’t safe and secure and the Islamic ‎Resistance Forces in Iraq will target American bases.”‎

‎Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “The news shows that the United States has a plan in the New Year to ‎occupy and restore insecurity to Iraq just like it had gathered the opponents of Saddam ‎Husayn before its 2003 invasion of this country.” ‎

The Iranian scholar added that on January 5, 2019, the Iraqi-American National Friendship ‎Association will hold their first conference in Sterling Heights, Michigan with members, ‎soldiers and fugitive officers of the Ba’ath Party in coordination with some members of the ‎United States Congress, the White House and the Senate to establish a new occupation of ‎Iraq in order to create insecurity and sedition in the country and to confront the resistance.‎

He warned the Iraqi people and politicians against the plans of the United States to launch a ‎new conspiracy and said, “The United States and its collaborators, like the Saudis, intend to ‎weaken and eliminate the Iraqi government. Therefore, the Iraqi people must be vigilant and ‎act in a vigilant manner.”.‎

Ayatollah Ka’bi added that while the Americans were unable to achieve their objectives ‎through Daesh and the division of Shi’ahs and Sunnis, this time they want to create chaos by ‎organizing the Ba’athists and with the help of the Saudis and to destroy Iraq’s security.‎
