🇮🇷/🇮🇶 Iran Observer |

The United States is pursuing a dangerous policy in Iraq, which may force the Iraqis to use force to completely expel American forces from their territory.

The Iraqi President has declared for the second time that American forces will be expelled from Iraq.

For decades, the Iraqi government has been selling its energy resources in US dollars.

But the US refuses to give the Iraqis access to their money, so since this year the Iraqis have been selling their oil and gas in Chinese Yuan.

The United States is also carrying out drone strikes on key commanders of the Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces, which are active in Iraq's military and political spheres.
