Al-Nujaba’s first comment after Al-Sadr’s demand to close the American embassy in Baghdad

The Iraqi Nujaba Movement reaffirmed its support for Sadrist leader Muqtada al-Sadr’s call for the US embassy in Baghdad to be closed and the leaving-off of all foreign forces from the country.

Political committee member of the organization Haider Al-Lami said in an exclusive interview: “Since 2003, the American embassy in Baghdad has been planning to restructure Iraq and tear apart its social fabric.” The movement supports Al-Sadr’s attempts to close it since the topic is vital for the movement’s goals: the “nation.”

Al-Lami claimed that the embassy in Baghdad poses no more threat than other bases like Ain al-Assad’s posture. This is so because members of the CIA and Israeli Mossads, whose presence is seen as more threatening than that of armed troops, reside in these bases.

Apart from being a military barracks far from diplomatic activities, he stressed that “this embassy does not apply for the terms of the agreement in Vienna” and that “all the American bases located on Iraqi territory do not carry any legal basis that regulates their presence”.

He stressed that no party has the right to confirm the establishment of American bases on Iraqi land, given the House of Representatives decision to eliminate all foreign military from the country.
