Iraq May Share Intelligence on ISIL Against US Wishes
The Iraqi government, backed by the
United Stated for years, is now taking another independent geopolitical
step towards its neighbors, Iran and Syria, as well as Russia – it's
going to share intelligence without Washington's approval.
First,Iraq recently angered the State Department by allowing Russian planes
to bring supplies and equipment to Syria over its airspace. On Friday,
Ibrahim al-Jafari, Iraq’s foreign minister, at the Council on Foreign
Relations told journalists when asked about the Russian flights that his
country “did not violate any of our commitments toward the
international community.”
