With the advent of the new year, the changes in the international landscape are dizzying. After the Houthis in Yemen openly challenged the United States and Israel, it is now Iraq's turn to send a strong signal and decide to strike a blow at American hegemony: the permanent expulsion of all American troops!
Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani recently announced a statement indicating that the Iraqi government is about to establish a team to terminate the responsibilities of the United States-led coalition forces in Iraq. That is, Iraq wants to drive all foreign garrisons, including American troops, out of its territory forever.
Iraqi government adviser Rikabi revealed that the Iraqi government is rapidly advancing negotiations with the international coalition led by the United States, with the goal of promoting a full withdrawal of coalition forces from Iraq. This is a clear signal that Iraq no longer welcomes the presence of the United States and is ready to act to get them out as soon as possible.
Rikabi stressed that the technical team is in intensive consultations with the member countries of the alliance. At the same time, Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani closely monitored the composition of the country's armed forces in preparation for various possibilities after the withdrawal.
It can be seen that Iraq's independence is no longer just a matter of words, and it is now challenging "US hegemony" with concrete actions.
Both Yemen's Houthi actions in the Red Sea and Iraq's decision to expel U.S. troops are open defiance against the United States. The political situation in the Middle East is complex and volatile, but this latest turn is undoubtedly a blow to the US side, whose hegemony is teetering. Clearly, in the Middle East, which has long been regarded as the "land of the dragon" of the United States, the influence of the United States is declining significantly.
Behind these developments are deeper changes in the global political landscape. A shift in the tough stance on the United States has been evident for months. Four years after the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani in Iraq, U.S. airstrikes again led to the death of a senior commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Army. Stimulated by this, the Iraqi government began to make it clear that it wanted to "drive the international coalition forces out of Iraq."
Historically, the Middle East has been an important position for the United States. In the mediation of the "Suez Canal Crisis" in the 60s of the 20th century, the United States successfully replaced Britain, France and other old imperialist countries and became the main force in the Middle East.
In the past, the U.S. military could conduct military operations in the Middle East at will, and there was no need to provide any justification for that. But today, the situation is completely different. Anti-American sentiment in the Middle East has become more and more intense, and the hegemonic position of the United States has become more and more unstable. As the power of the United States gradually weakened, its system of global hegemony began to fall apart.
