Interesting “diplomatic” traffic in Iraq if it’s 💯 confirmed

Sources tell me that White House coordinator for MidEast, Brett McGurk is also in Baghdad for an “unannounced” visit.
Iran’s intelligence minister Alavi arrived in Baghdad today.
This is 💯 confirmed now.
Suddenly it made sense why Iraq’s skies have been cleared from all those “Suicide drones” & rockets after almost a month of regular attacks on US bases
But this calmness in Iraqi skies is probably temporary and more related to talks on US & Iran “prisoner exchanges”
Yep!

چيزى كه اينجا در عراق بيشتر از همه ميشنوم اينست كه دوست ندارند كسى نگاه از بالا به پايين به عراقيها داشته باشد. اين برداشت را هم از نحوه رفتار ايران دارند و هم از آمريكا. از زمان "پيروزى" بر داعش نوعى خودباورى تازه در عراق شكل گرفته كه اين حرف را بيشتر مى شود شنيد. ١
اينرا از اواسط جنگ با داعش هم آمريكايى ها و هم ايرانيها كم كم بهتر درك كردند.فرمانده هاى آمريكايى سعى مى كردند كه حسى را به فرماندهان و مسولان عراقى بدهند كه تصميم گيرنده نهايى آنها هستند.نه فقط جلوى بلفرض رسانه ها.در پشت صحنه هم.اما عراقيها كمتر باور مى كردند و هنوز بدبين بودند٢
درباره ايران وضع متفاوتتر بود.نيروهايى كه فرماندهان ايرانى با آنها كار مى كردند درست مثل سيستم تبليغاتى ايران ديدگاه ايدئولوژيكشان غالب بود.به چشم به هم زدنى همه جا را پر كردند از عكس قاسم سليمانى و آقاى خامنه اى،طوريكه در يك مقطع بغداد يا مثلا طوز در و ديوارش عكسهاى اين دو بود ٣
