Iraq Parliament Grants Prime Minister Authority to Enter Syria Conflict
The Prime Minster of Iraq, Mohammed al-Sudani has been authorized by the Iraq House of Representatives to take the decision to enter the Syria war. | Al-Sudani has already mobilized the Iraq army on the border with Syria. Now, at any moment, he may issue the Order to enter Syria in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Iraq does not want an ISIS-like caliphate on its border. Therefore if Iraq enters, it will want to help Assad. This is very understandable, especially given their previous experiences with ISIS. The stakes now, though, seem very much higher because of who is backing the HTS Terrorists. This is an unexpected eventuality.
