Raised the Iraqi request from the United States in cases where the application of international sanctions on Iran reactions between the circles of political, legal, considering that Iraq has business relationships and wide, whether governmental or private sector will be affected much by the commitment of Baghdad, the resolution of international, as it confirms official figures that the rate of trade up to $ 10 billion annually, an amount that comes in second place among the most trade with Iraq after Turkey.
And Rebecca are the international sanctions on Iran, one of the points critical to the Iraqi government, it is a matter of want to abide by any decision of an international return her position in the international community, and another door will be affected by Iraq economically from the sanctions, but the government found in the decision to exempt a diplomatic solution to shield the critical next .
National Alliance MP and former Judge Wael Abdul Latif said: "Iraq finds itself in a critical commitment to sanctions against Iran, so the Iraqi request from the United States in cases where the application of sanctions initiative to get out of this impasse," he said in an interview with "the world" " Therefore, I think that pre-empt the issue with the United States and the Security Council is good, but I do not expect to be excluded from Iraq, because the council wants to exercise strong pressure on Iran and the exhaustion of its economy, I do not think that the United States will exclude Iraq from the subject. "

"
But the National Alliance MP Haitham Jubouri saw the opposite, and said: "According to what we got from the professionals of the law, it is legally a country falls under Chapter VII does not include resolutions and economic sanctions imposed by the Security Council," he said in an interview with "the world" "Therefore, Iraq is excluded from this matter, as well as, the Iraqi government's request from the United States in cases where sanctions of Iran would be approved, because Washington is keen on Iraq's economic activity and strengthen it, and that Washington is keen on its interests in Iraq.
In the absence of consent of the United States to the Iraqi request and the impact on the Iraqi economy Jubouri said: "Sure would be affected our economy, most of the operations of trade with Iran, and represents about 35% of the total trade with the countries of the world, and that most of the goods in the domestic market, an Iranian origin and the various types and goods, so Fbaatviade that the Iraqi economy will be affected by economic sanctions on Iran. "
However, the legal expert Tareq Harb said: "The provisions of Chapter VII applied to Iraq not related to aspects of military and political, but rather relate to economic aspects and the most important of the 5% belonging to the compensation paid to Kuwait by the invasion of the former regime have, while the other aspects have been canceled in accordance with Security Council resolutions numbered 1956 and 1957 and 1958 which were issued in December 2010, ie, that the problem of Iraq with Chapter VII of Finance is to deduct 5% of oil imports and pushed to Kuwait and other countries affected. "
He said in an interview with "the world": "under the Convention on the Iraqi-American, the items included the rights of Iraq, including securing the economic side of Baghdad, and the problem happening now, which could have raised the issue of financial transactions, and the U.S. decision on Iran stated explicitly that he looks into account to countries allied with the United States and the first of Iraq, the country has made Washington even at the expense of Israel, because Washington is keen to ensure the success of what happened in Iraq, even if like some of the deficiencies. "
He continued, "the Iraqi request will find acceptance and a response from the United States because it is before the issue of Washington's commitment to support the Iraqi political process, and take into account that the deal Iraq with Iran is the second dealing with the countries of the world after Turkey, and notes the extent of damage that would befall Iraq, whether the economy the government or private "War and concluded by saying:" I think that the issue is positive for the request and that the Iraqi president would agree to all its demands of Iraq and his request to submit requests for other countries, including Japan, which preceded the Iraq this request.
