author:Bright Net

In 2003, then-U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell took a test tube of white powder and made the so-called "Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction" accusation, which the United States used as an excuse to launch the Iraq war. After 20 years, Iraqis are still angry about this "trumped-up" crime, and political analyst Juma is one of them.

Juma, head of the Iraq Horizon Research Center: Of course, this is a fabricated reason [by the United States] to occupy Iraq. Iraq has always been under a total blockade by the United States, and many people in Iraq at that time could not even have enough to eat, how could there be nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction.

Before the outbreak of the Iraq War in 2003, Juma was a businessman. Recalling what the United States has done, Juma, who has passed the age of flower armor, still remembers it vividly.

Juma, head of the Iraq Horizon Research Center: We saw Americans killing Iraqi people in markets and on the streets but enjoying judicial immunity, which is a sad part of our political history.

The United States invasion plunged the entire country of Iraq into chaos, with a large number of innocent civilians killed and infrastructure nearly paralyzed. Extremist organizations have taken advantage of the momentum, and violent terrorist attacks have been frequent. After that, Juma and like-minded friends set up a television station and research center, frequently publishing articles and guest political programs attacking American hegemony.

Juma, head of the Iraq Horizon Research Center: With the US occupation of Iraq, extremist groups have killed a large number of civilians, and the United States has left Iraq with nothing but ruins, destruction and sectarianism. One of the characteristics of the United States is that it does not really bring democracy and human rights, but only wants to dominate the Arab people, and the sectarian differences in Iraq are ultimately caused by the American occupation.

After the war, Iraq actively sought economic reconstruction and became one of the first Arab countries to join the cooperation of the "Belt and Road". In 2015, China and Iran signed a cooperation document on jointly building the "Belt and Road". Juma said that now Iraq has gained valuable respite, and he believes that Iraq is moving in a better direction through continuous cooperation with China.

Juma, head of the Iraq Horizon Research Center: Now Iraq is starting to get rid of [U.S. control] because of the principle of balance in diplomatic relations and the establishment of contacts between East and West. Iraq's relations with China are very good, and Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani has recently signed contracts with a number of Chinese companies for urban construction and bridge construction.
