Soleimani VS McMaster

Written by Nasser Kandil,

It is noticeable the disproportion between the interest given by the analysts who belong to reverse political parties concerning the event of the secession of Kurdistan and the size of their interest of the failure which affected it due to a counter plan that is not taken as a historic striking victory.

Everyone describes the movement of the head of the Kurdistan region for the secession as a threat to the unified maps of the region’s countries according to a plan supported by Washington and Israel and funded by Saudi Arabia.

The US-Saudi-Israeli tripartite does not hide its attempts to disable any attempt that targets the secession under the slogan of the call for unconditional dialogue and stopping the escalation, the intention was after the referendum has been held to stop the attempts of targeting it.

The secession was not a fancy.

The Kurdish secession was not a testing experience.

The secession was not an individual act.

It was a plan

The plan has been confronted with a plan and that led to the failure of the secession.

The counter plan was led by Iran brilliantly through the genius General Qasem Soleimani who worked silently and quickly by mobilizing an alliance with Turkey and Syria, supporting Iraq, and calming down the Russian tension towards the knockout by restoring Kirkuk smoothly from the group of the secession.

Many people were afraid when Masoud Al-Barazani insisted on the secession, they imagined catastrophic scenarios, because the success means the birth of new Israel that changes the balances of powers in the region, leads to strategic confusion to Iran and the forces of the resistance, and threatens of dividing more entities, so either to thwart the secession or to be under painful bloody war and shameful inhuman blockade that is difficult to coexist with and to justify.

Soleimani’s plan won within two days, everything has changed before the passage of a month of the referendum.

The result did not get the necessary evaluation and analysis, as if the secession was a passing risk and the confidence was absolute in thwarting it, while in fact it was the crucial blow hid by America in order to confuse the matters after ISIS.

What has happened equals the victory of a war that did not occur before it occurs.

The US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson rushed to the region under the pretext of a tour of visits, the aim was a joint meeting with the Saudi King and the Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al –Abadi in order to present temptations to the friend who was not found in the time of need by Iraq in order to avoid the fall of Iraq totally in the Iranian bank after the great achievement and the remarkable decision to protect Iraq from the imminent danger, which participated in its making those who claimed the keenness on it. The Iraqi answer was crucial especially regarding what is related to the popular crowd and its future, which was described by the Americans and the Saudis with the exceptional phenomenon which its mission ended with the end of the war on ISIS, in addition to the Iranian threat of expansion in the Iraqi structure at the expense of the country and its institutions.

The failure of the secession and the failure of the attempts of absorbing the failure have obliged the plan-maker the US National Security Advisor the General Herbert McMaster to go out to public accusing Iran of destabilizing the region.

McMaster explained what has happened in Kirkuk as a proof of the destructive intensions of Iran “Iran has exploited the division inside the Kurdistan Regional Government and inside the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan after the death of the former President Jalal Talibani. It played an important role after the referendum inside the Kurdistan Regional Government; they used these divisions in order to carry out their interests. He added that the Iranians have infiltrated into the Iraqi institutions and they were able to penetrate them, in addition they formed the militias which work outside the control of the Iraqi government. He expressed his belief that what the Iranians intend to do is to use these militias when it is the time to reap the interests of Iran”.

The Iraqis applauded to Iran and to the American testimony, they thanked the General Soleimani and the testimony of the General McMaster….viva the destruction.
