Iraqi National Opposition Council: A Call to Reject Iranian Influence in Iraq
The Iraqi National Opposition Council, composed of 700 prominent figures from various sectors, urges the United States not to support Iranian influence in Iraq. The council’s objective is to maintain Iraq’s sovereignty and national interests, which are jeopardized by support for Iran and its proxies in the region.
Council members assert that the United States needs to reassess its strategy in the Middle East. Continuing to support Iran enhances its influence and increases security threats to Iraq and neighboring countries. The council emphasizes the importance of backing national governments that aim for stability and prosperity for their peoples.
The Iraqi National Opposition Council includes civil, military, political, and economic leaders who previously played significant roles in Iraq’s governance. They express deep concern over the risks posed by ongoing Iranian dominance. Therefore, the council appeals to the international community to assist in building a strong and independent Iraq, free from external interventions.
