| Al-Kadhimi between two assassinations: Security breach leads to U.S.-Iranian convergence |
| 2021-11-12 |
| [SHAFAQ] The "liquidation attempt" against outgoing Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in the Green Zone a week ago did not receive the same political and media attention as the "crime" announced at dawn Sunday, which shook the Iraqi political scene and represented a rare moment of transformation to both the internal and external regional intersections.The scoop of the attempted liquidation by three drones will fade in a few days, not only because of how it was carried out but perhaps more importantly, because of its consequences and the questions it raised, starting with the "security breach" of targeting the head of The Iraqi authority in his residence inside the heavily fortified Green Zone, the timing of his presence in that exact place, through to the internal and regional political significance of the failed liquidation attempt. UNDERMINING THE STATE'S PRESTIGE Some experts believe that the drone attack on al-Kadhimi's residence is an attempt to undermine the prestige of the state, as well as a warning message from the perpetrators that they are above the constitution and the regime. Therefore they are able to impose their political will. |
