اشغالگران را زیر ضربه نگه داشته‌‎ایم/ نقش مخرب واشنگتن در بحران برق و بدهی عراق به ایران

Spokesman of al-Nujaba in an Interview with Taghrib News Agency:

We have kept the occupiers under attack | Washington’s destructive role in the electricity crisis and Iraq’s debt to Iran

 

al-Shammari announced the continuation of anti-occupation operations by the Iraqi mujahidin (warriors) and explained the apparent and hidden motives of the American government in preventing the solution to the Iraqi electricity crisis.

 

According to the website of the representative office of al-Nujaba in Iran – In an exclusive conversation with Taghrib News Agency, Nasr al-Shammari, the official spokesman of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement, described the dimensions of sabotage by the Americans in Iraq, which has led to the escalation of the electricity crisis in this country.

al-Shammari pointed out Washington’s stonewalling of the settlement of Baghdad’s debts to Tehran and attributed it to the United States’ efforts to maintain its dominance over Iraq.

Appreciating the mujahidin (warriors) who have kept the occupying enemy under attack, he emphasized that the United States is in its weakest period.

The full text of this conversation is as follows:

 

What do you think is behind the electricity crisis in Iraq?

The United States is the only movement behind the curtain of this crisis. The United States has intensified this crisis not since 2003 but rather since 1991 by bombing most of the power plants and preventing Iraq from signing contracts with experienced companies.

Washington continues to prevent the signing of contracts with German and Chinese companies that are leaders in this industry, and if Iraq signs an electricity production contract with these companies regardless of American sanctions – such as the contract with the German company Siemens – the American government will threaten and apply pressure to stop their presence and activities in Iraq.

Instead, it imposes bankrupt American companies on all parts of Iraq’s industry, which, by monopolization, undermines service delivery in the country. These companies build a special type of power plant in Iraq, whose fuel is not available in our country and must be supplied through imports. This allows the United States to cut off fuel to Iraq’s power plants whenever it wants.

Iran has repeatedly emphasized that it wants to fulfill its commitments to the Iraqi people in the matter of energy and does not want to cause harm to the Iraqi people but the United States prevents the settlement of Iraq’s debt to Iran. In your opinion, what are the goals of the Americans in fueling the electricity crisis in Iraq? And why is it seeking to provoke differences and enmity between the nations of Iran and Iraq?

The government of Iran has a demand from Iraq for the export of gas to produce electricity, the amount of which has reached several billion dollars, and its settlement has been delayed for years by the order of the leaders of the Islamic Republic.

The United States prevents settlement under the pretext of sanctions because it seeks to maintain its political and economic dominance over Iraq. Any administration that tries to get out of this control, the United States will overthrow that administration by bringing its mercenaries and tools. Like what they did with the administration of Adil Abdul-Mahdi.

The American government has already gone further and interferes in the cultural and social affairs of the Muslim nation of Iraq. Their senile old ambassador is trying to continue this malign role in Iraq, ignorantly forgetting that the United States is at its weakest and its dominance over the world is loosening.

But by trusting in God and standing by the mujahidin (warriors) who have kept the enemy under attack with their fingers on the trigger, we are fully confident that God’s help will include us and with the end of the presence of the arrogant American occupiers in the region, the problems and crises created by them will also end.
