BAGHDAD


The United States Senator John McCain is attempting to lead efforts to kick Iranian soldiers out of Iraq, which has been fighting in the Islamic State militants.


“In his visit to Baghdad, Sen. McCain asked Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Abadi to kick out Iranian soldiers from Iraq and end their role in the fight against Islamic State (IS) militants in the country,” a member of the Iraqi Sadr party told a Kuwaiti newspaper.


“He has told Abadi not to allow Iranian Quds Force Major General Qassem Soleimani to walk freely through Iraq wherever as Iran has been sanctioned by the international community,” said the source.


According to information revealed by the Sadr party source, McCain has handed over details of almost 2500 crimes committed in Iraq by Iranian soldiers. Most of the crimes were carried out near Baghdad, in Samara, Balad, Dujel and to the south of Tikrit.


“McCain has also asked Abadi not to allow Iranian military advisers to enter Iraq because their presence is a threat to the US-led coalition military advisers in the country. One of the main duties of Iranian military advisers is to collect intelligence about the US and coalition activities in Iraq,” continued the Sadr source.


The figure stated that McCain’s attempts to kick out Iranian soldiers by pressuring Abadi is to prevent Iran gaining information about the main political and military objectives of the US in Iraq.
