After the U.S.-Iraqi pact was adopted by the Iraqi parliament’s ratification through a wide majority, I suggested in a previous article about the strategic implications of this pact that at the Middle East regional level, this pact constitutes a definite blow to the Iranian extremist campaign, the Iranian project and interests in the region and consequently the totalitarianism and extremism in the Middle East, as it is clearly expressed by Iran and its allies of the Middle East Totalitarian Axis.

In addition, this pact, as restricting the Iranian influence in Iraq, will be a vital indispensable way to assure Iraq’s affiliation with the moderate campaign in the region. Besides, this pact will split geographically and geopolitically the Middle East Totalitarian Axis, which is the region of the Iranian influence in the region, into two separate geographic areas, and then, will end the Iranian eager aspiration in this regard.

Now, after the increase of the civilian casualties in Iraq in November, especially the recent series of terrorist attacks following directly the Iraqi parliament’s ratification of this pact, the question is about the reaction to this pact by the Middle East totalitarian axis led by Iran, the main loser by this pact’s application.

In this regard, all concerned parties in the region and in the world clearly realize the fact of the Middle East totalitarian extremist parties’ dependency on violence as a political means. This fact is sustained further by the consecutive political losses of the totalitarian extremist campaign in Iraq since 2003, especially as regards Iran and the political means it has to influence the Iraqi affairs and policies.

Furthermore, given Iran and its allies’ historical proficiency in using and employing violence including terror in their domestic and foreign policies and benefiting politically from this employment as it is obvious in Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza, their tendency to keep resorting to violence and terror even further would be reinforced in the post U.S.-Iraqi pact era.

In fact, the deterioration in the situation of the security in Iraq is the only remaining way for Iran to reproduce its own political strength and to restore its role in the Iraqi question, as this role then would be asked by the Iraqi and U.S. parties.

Hence, the Iraqis in addition to the U.S. troops should be vigilant on this question, especially at this stage, and keep an eye on the Syrian border and Iran’s surrogates in Iraq to save civilians and the nascent democratic system there.
