Those calling the #US aggression on "kataeb Hezbollah" as " an attack against Iranian proxies" are deliberately omitting they are part of the 45 and 46 brigades of the Iraqi security forces integrated under the direct command of the #Iraq Prime Minister @AdilAbdAlMahdi.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi It is not a coincidence for the #US to hit a position of the Iraqi forces on al-Qaem, the same position where #Israel target killing an Iraqi commander a few months ago (Israel used #US air force base in east #Syria).
The US was angry with Iraqi PM for opening al-Qaem crossing.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi Keep in mind one question:
Why the #US bombed #Iraq security forces positions based along the borders with #Syria to monitor and disrupt #ISIS movement towards Iraq?

@AdilAbdAlMahdi #Iraq/i Natl sec council lead by @AdilAbdAlMahdi is meeting now to discuss the presence of #US forces who committed a crime against Iraqi sec forces killing 35 officers &wounding 45.These Iraqi come from 1000s of km away from home to fight #ISIS & prevent its crossing from #Syria
@AdilAbdAlMahdi If the #US refuse to withdraw from #Iraq once the decision has been taken, the situation will turn ugly, particularly when @realDonaldTrump has an election ahead.
US is supposed to be a host in #Iraq to fight terrorism. It has committed a crime and 'proudly' recognised it.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Sayyed Moqtada al-Sadr will condemn this #US crime against Iraqi forces notwithstanding his (negative) attitude towards Hashd al-Shaabi of which he has a brigade (313).
Sayyed Sistani will also condemn it but his answer is expected to be 'grey'.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump "US had to respond" rhetoric is equal to '"law of the jungle". #US is invited to #Iraq to train, support with its intel to fight #ISIS and sell its weapons. It will be up to the Iraqi gov to find and arrest #Iraqi responsible not for US to kill 35 Iraqi.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump If #Iraq asks the #US forces to leave the country as a price for their last night crime, it will become virtually impossible for these forces to stay in #Syria and continue its occupation and stealing of its oil, as acknowledged by President Trump.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Saying "Iran wanted a confrontation with the US in Iraq" is quite limited. Iraqi have their own ideology. Presence of US has never been agreed by all Iraqi. However, #US "brilliant idea" to commit a crime united Iraqi groups & falls in the interest of #Iran at the end of the day.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump #Iran needs to do nothing to increase growing resentment against #US forces & policy in the ME. The entire job is carried about brilliantly by the US in #Iraq & #Syria. Committing a crime against Iraqi forces & stealing Syrian oil is enough to respond to:
"Why do they hate us?".
"Why do they hate us?".
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Adopting the #US logic and attitude in #Iraq, the country of every single citizen killed abroad, has the right to bomb the hell of those believed to be responsible if the perpetrator is not found or arrested.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump #Iraq Grand Ayatollah Sistani, in the same line of my thread today, responded to the #US criminal act against Iraqi security forces at the Syrian borders:
"We condemn this hateful attack against the Iraqi security forces and emphasizes the necessity to respect Iraq sovereignty" +
"We condemn this hateful attack against the Iraqi security forces and emphasizes the necessity to respect Iraq sovereignty" +
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Sayyed Sistani:" No excuse to violate #Iraq sovereignty even to respond to unlawful attacks by unofficial groups. The Iraqi authority is the one responsible to deal with any abuse (not the #US). Iraq should not be a platform to sort out regional and international disputes".
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Basically, the Grand Ayatollah Sistani condemns the #US criminal act which could justify any response against US forces in #Iraq as a retaliation against the killing of 35 Iraqi security forces guarding the borders against #ISIS.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump #Iraq:
Sayyed Sistani is clearly saying "Iraqi security forces". He is not saying "Iranian proxies" or "Iranian militia" like all sitting in a tank all year round with burned brain.
Hashd al-Shaabi has been included in the Iraqi security forces. It is part of the official forces

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump There are serious discussions in #Iraq among officials to buy anti-air missiles from #Russia to down any unauthorised jet in the sky of #Iraq.
#Iran would love to have the #US forces in Iraq & would hate to see these forces withdrawing. They offer a perfect target in due course.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump To be very clear:
#US military officials and US embassy informed Prime Minister @AdilAbdAlMahdi half an hour before the attack about the US intention to violate #Iraq sovereignty and bomb Iraqi security forces positions. PM Abdel Mahdi strongly refused the attack. US didn't care.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Excellent from #China Foreign Ministry: this position and more feeds into the Middle East events, mainly in #Iraq and #Syria, emphasises the end of the #US unipolar hegemony of the world. Don't stop and don't be shy.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump I strongly exclude any #Iran/ian retaliation against the #US criminal act in #Iraq.
It is up to Iraq to respond by official means. Iran would like the IUS to stay in Iraq and the Iraqi security forces will not react immediately.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Not in #Iran or its allies modus operandi in the ME to be reactive & quickly respond to any aggression. There is no hurry, in my opinion, neither it is expected to see an immediate attack on #US forces. These would remain on alert for very long, exhausting nerves and resources.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Read more about Iran-Russia-China relationship and future in my article this evening, the beginning of several articles related to the same toipic.
To me, this position of #China is extremely important. You will understand more in 2020 and 2021.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Moqtada al-Sadr largest parliamentary group calls for the cancellation of the strategic agreement with the US forces in Iraq but doesn't go to the parliament to vote

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump Let us be realistic:
1. Objectives bombed by #US must have been suggested by #Israel that is much more clever in selecting targets (already bombed by Israel this year).
2. US would not have bombed had the #Iraqi been united. US and Israel know how to evaluate possible retaliation

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump The Iraqi parliament needs 165 MPs to be united under its roof. Today only 100 were present. This is the split among Iraqis, visible in selecting a Prime Minister candidate.
#US knows the Iraqi Army is not hostile and that Iraqi politicians will try to calm down the game.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump However, what happen can only be positive as a strategic outcome to #Iraq and against the #US interest in this part of the world.
The #US is certainly the best in collecting more enemies on the ground, paving the road to Iran, China and Russia to move in. Keep going @SecPompeo.

@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump @SecPompeo #Bahrein supported the #US criminal act against #Iraq security forces on the Syrian-Iraqi borders. The Iraqi should remember Bahrein' stand.
@AdilAbdAlMahdi @realDonaldTrump @SecPompeo Moqtada al-Sadr said "ready to force the #US to withdraw from #Iraq by all means if necessary.
Signed: "Moqtada Sayyed Mohammad al-Sadr, the member of the resistance".
