عراق: ترامپ برای «زیر نظر گرفتن ایران» اجازه نخواسته است

عراق: ترامپ برای «زیر نظر گرفتن ایران» اجازه نخواسته است

مسئولان و مقامات عراقی به اظهارات اخیر رئیس جمهور آمریکایی‌ درباره علت حضور نظامیان آمریکایی در عراق واکنش نشان دادند. 
به گزارش الشرق الاوسط، برهم صالح، رئیس جمهوری عراق روز دوشنبه گفت دونالد ترامپ، رئیس جمهوری آمریکا برای «رصد ایران» از داخل خاک عراق از بغداد اجازه نگرفته است.
 روز یکشنبه سوم فوریه (۱۴ بهمن) دونالد ترامپ، رئیس جمهور آمریکا در مصاحبه‌ای گفته بود که قصد دارد نیروهای آمریکایی‌ها را در عراق نگه دارد تا مراقب ایران باشند.
صالح این موضوع را در نشستی در بغداد و در پاسخ به سؤالی در ارتباط با اظهارات دونالد ترامپ در گفت‌وگو با سی‌بی‌اس اعلام کرد.
او با اشاره به اینکه عراق پایگاهی برای حمله به همسایگان نیست گفت که نیروهای آمریکایی در عراق در قالب توافق دو کشور برای مأموریت ویژه مقابله با تروریسم حضور دارند و بهتر است آنها به همین مأموریت بپردازند.
 رئیس‌جمهور عراق از آمریکا خواست که «مسائل خود را به دوش این کشور بار نکند». 
صالح افزود «آمریکا یک قدرت بزرگ است... اما اولویت‌های سیاست‌گذاری خود را در اینجا که ما زندگی می‌کنیم دنبال نکنید».
او همچنین گفت که داشتن روابط خوب با ایران و دیگر همسایگان، از «منافع بنیادین» عراق است.
از سال 2003 مسئله حضور نیروهای آمریکا در عراق چالشی و جدل برانگیز است. دولت باراک اوباما در سال ۲۰۱۱ بسیاری از نیروهای آمریکایی که تعداد آنها 170 هزار نیرو اعلام شده را از عراق خارج کرد و بعد در سال ۲۰۱۴ ناچار شد که بار دیگر با هدف جلوگیری از پیشروی نیروهای داعش به سوی بغداد، نظامیان ایالات متحده را در این کشور مستقر کند.

EU Nations to Hold Emergency Meeting on Soaring Diesel Prices amid US Pressure

EU nations will meet Friday, aiming to develop a unified response to soaring diesel prices, a day after the US called on its European allies to release strategic reserves "immediately" to stem the crisis.

The emergency meeting between EU member states and the European Commission is scheduled for early in the day, a Commission spokesperson said late Thursday.

Washington is piling on pressure to get European help with fuel costs, with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday floating the possibility of banning diesel exports, said AFP.

EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic told reporters Thursday on the sidelines of the G20 trade ministers gathering in Milwaukee that any move by the US to ban diesel exports would be "unexpected for Europeans."

"It would have very dramatic consequences for our economic performance," Sefcovic said of any potential diesel export ban.

Sefcovic told reporters that he did not go into details with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on energy exports at the meeting, but the transatlantic partners "decided to stay in close touch to avoid any surprises here."

- 'Ongoing disruptions' -

Reports said the Trump administration wants France and Germany in particular to tap their stockpiles of diesel to try to curb prices sent soaring by the US war on Iran.

"Our European partners should accelerate delivery on their existing commitments and make additional supplies immediately available to address ongoing disruptions," US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on social media.

High energy costs loom as a threat to Trump's Republican party in next month's midterm elections.

"It is in Europe's best interest to work with the United States as we pursue multiple pathways to boost the supply of refined products and lower costs for consumers," a US official told AFP.

At G20 trade talks in Milwaukee, Greer struck a conciliatory tone, saying there was an "eagerness on both sides to work together" on the diesel issue.

And Trump told reporters in Texas on Thursday that he "may" ask European countries to release diesel reserves.

- 'Balanced solutions' -

France's minister delegate for international trade, Nicolas Forissier, told AFP in Milwaukee: "I can't imagine that there will be a ban."

He stressed the importance of diesel to the United States and European countries, adding both sides will "try to find solutions."

"In France, we'll try to find balanced solutions all over the world," Forissier added. "If not with the Americans, it will be with other countries."

Trump on Wednesday said he was still considering a possible ban on US diesel exports, while adding that he thought it could ultimately cause gasoline prices to rise.

"I'm thinking about it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Speaking alongside Trump, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Wednesday that the world would "hear announcements from our friends in Europe" to push diesel prices down.

Asked about a release from strategic reserves, the French presidency said no such demand had been made when Emmanuel Macron and Trump met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last week.

Macron would also soon convene a video meeting of G7 leaders "to make progress on the various levers that can be used to address the rising fuel prices... including coordination on releasing reserves."

Macron announced on September 18 a plan for such a meeting. The G7 gathering is expected in mid-October, according to Macron's press office.

Average US diesel prices have surged more than 70 percent to $6.39 a gallon since the start of the Iran war, according to AAA motor club data.

Fuel prices have caused living costs to soar, leaving Trump's Republican Party fearing it could lose control of Congress in November's midterm elections.

Several Arab and Islamic bodies on Friday condemned a Houthi attack that targeted a power station in Saudi Arabia’s Madinah that supplies electricity to the Prophet’s Mosque and other civilian facilities.

Kuwait, Qatar, the Arab League, the OIC, Egypt, the Muslim World League, the Arab Parliament president, GCC, and the Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque condemned the attack, saying it violated the Kingdom's sovereignty and breached international law.

The condemnations described the attack as a threat to civilian infrastructure and expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, while stressing the need to protect holy sites and civilian facilities from attacks.

They also renewed full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed support for the Kingdom in confronting attacks targeting its security, stability, and sovereignty, as well as the safety of its citizens and residents.
