According to a news source, US President Biden replaced US Ambassador to Baghdad Elena Romanowski with a new person.
According to the source, Biden has proposed Recy Ann Jacobson to succeed Elena Romanowski as the United States’ Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Iraq.
“The American administration worked to replace Elena Romanowski as American ambassador to Baghdad, and at this particular time, due to a number of reasons, especially since the replacement was appointed (extraordinarily),” the source stated.
“Transferring Iraq’s security and political file to the CIA and the Pentagon is one of the main reasons for changing the US ambassador to Baghdad,” he continued.
Noting that “the other goal is the most dangerous, as it represents the activation of ISIS sleeper cells in Iraq,” the source clarified that “taking this step is not in vain, but rather to achieve goals, most notably the demonization of the Popular Mobilization Forces, and the attempt to cast doubt on it on the security front.”
“The other thing that Washington is working on is complete control over the Iraqi oil file, and monitoring Iraq’s money,” he said, adding that “the Pentagon will also work to create electronic armies and try to put pressure around the Iraqi negotiator, in order to stay as long as possible in the country.”
Prior to the ongoing attacks on the security forces and the Popular Mobilization Forces, the Iraqi government had declared the beginning of bilateral talks with the United States in an attempt to arrange the withdrawal of foreign soldiers from the nation.
