NgoFebruwari 25 i-US yokuqhushumisa iSyria kwangoko ibeka imigaqo-nkqubo yolawulo olusandul 'ukusekwa lweBiden kwimpumlo enkulu. Kutheni le nto ulawulo luqhubhisa ilizwe laseSyria? Kutheni le nto kuqhushumbe "amajoni axhaswe yi-Iranian" angoyikisi e-United States kwaye abandakanyeka ekulweni i-ISIS? Ukuba oku malunga nokufumana amandla angaphezulu kwe-vis-a-vis ye-Iran, kutheni le nto ulawulo lwe-Biden lungakhange lwenze nje oko belusithi luyakwenza: phinda ujoyine isivumelwano senyukliya sase-Iran kwaye unyuse ukungqubana kwe-Middle East?
Ngokutsho Pentagon, isitrayikhi sase-US sasiphendula uhlaselo lwerokethi ngoFebruwari 15 kumantla e-Iraq wabulala ikontraka ukusebenza nomkhosi wase-US kwaye wenzakalisa ilungu lenkonzo yase-US Iiakhawunti zenani elibulewe kuhlaselo lwaseMelika ziyahluka ukusuka kwenye ukuya kwi-22.
IPentagon yenze ibango elincomekayo lokuba eli nyathelo “lijolise ekunyuseni imeko yonke eMpuma Syria nase-Iraq.” Oku kwakunjalo ibaliwe ngurhulumente waseSyria, olugwebileyo uhlaselo olungekho mthethweni kwindawo yalo wathi ugwayimbo "luza kukhokelela kwiziphumo eziza kuyonyusa imeko kwingingqi." Isitrayikhi sakugwetywa ngoorhulumente base China nase Russia. Ilungu leBhunga laseRussia lumkisa Ukwanda kwezo ndawo kunokubangela “ungquzulwano olukhulu.”
Ngelishwa, uJen Psaki, ngoku osisithethi se-White House sika-Biden, wabuza ukuba semthethweni kokuhlasela iSyria ngo-2017, xa yayingulawulo lukaTrump lwaluqhushumisa. Emva koko yena Xa ebuzwa: “Leliphi igunya elisemthethweni logwayimbo? U-Assad nguzwilakhe okhohlakeleyo. Kodwa iSiriya lilizwe elizimeleyo. ”
I-airstrikes bekucingelwa ukuba igunyaziswe ngumntu oneminyaka engama-20 ubudala, emva ko-9/11 Ugunyaziso loSetyenziso loMkhosi woMkhosi (i-AUMF), umthetho lowo u-Rep. UBarbara Lee azama iminyaka ukuba awurhoxise okoko wasetyenziswa gwenxa, ngokutsho kwi-congresswoman, "ukuthethelela ukulwa kumazwe asixhenxe ahlukeneyo, ngokuchasene noluhlu olwandayo lwabachasi."
I-United States ibanga ukuba ukujolisa kwabo ku-Siriya bekusekwe kubukrelekrele obonelelwe ngurhulumente wase-Iraq. Nobhala Wezomkhosi uAustin xelele i intatheli"Siqinisekile ukuba ithagethi yayisetyenziswa kwawona mkhosi wamaShia owawuqhuba olu qhankqalazo [nxamnye nemikhosi yaseMelika]."
kodwa ingxelo Ngamehlo aseMbindi Mpuma (MEE) icebisa ukuba i-Iran ibongoze kakhulu amajoni axhasa i-Iraq ukuba ayeke olo hlaselo, okanye naziphi na izinto ezinje ngemfazwe ezinokuthi ziphazamise ubuchule babo bokubuyisa i-US ne-Iran ekuthotyelweni kwesivumelwano senyukliya se-2015 okanye iJCPOA.
"Akukho qela lethu laziwayo lenze olu hlaselo," umphathi omkhulu wamajoni e-Iraq uxelele i-MEE. "Imiyalelo yeIran ayitshintshanga malunga nokuhlasela imikhosi yaseMelika, kwaye abantu baseIran basenomdla wokuhlala bezolile nabantu baseMelika de babone ukuba urhulumente omtsha uzakwenza njani."
Uhlobo oluhlaselayo lohlaselo lwase-US kwimikhosi yaseIraq exhaswa ngurhulumente, eyinxalenye yomkhosi oxhobileyo waseIraq kwaye adlale indima ebalulekileyo emfazweni ne-ISIS, yamkelwa ngokucacileyo kwisigqibo se-US sokubahlasela eSyria endaweni yokuba Irakh. Ngaba iNkulumbuso UMustafa Al-Kadhimi, wase-Bhritane wase-Bhritane-eIraq, ozama ukubuyela kwimikhosi yamaShiite exhaswa yiIran, ayikhabe imvume yohlaselo lwaseMelika kumhlaba waseIraq?
Kwisicelo sikaKadhimi, i-NATO inyusa ubukho bayo ukusuka kumajoni angama-500 ukuya kuma-4,000 (ukusuka eDenmark, e-UK nase-Turkey, hayi e-US) ukuqeqesha umkhosi wase-Iraq kunye nokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwabo kwimikhosi exhaswa yi-Irani. Kodwa uKadhimi ubeka emngciphekweni wokuphulukana nomsebenzi wakhe kunyulo luka-Okthobha ukuba uyahlulahlula uninzi lwamaShiite eIraq. Umphathiswa Wezangaphandle waseIraq uFuad Hussein usinge eTehran ukuya kudibana namagosa aseIran kwimpelaveki, kwaye ilizwe liza kujonga ukubona indlela iIraq neIran abazakuphendula ngayo kuhlaselo lwaseMelika.
Abanye abahlalutyi bathi ukuqhushumba kungenzeka ukuba bekujongwe ukomeleza isandla sase-US kuthethathethwano kunye ne-Iran malunga nesivumelwano senyukliya (i-JCPOA). "Isitrayikhi, ngendlela endibona ngayo, sasenzelwe ukubeka ithoni kunye noTehran kwaye sazithemba ngokuzithemba ngaphambi kothethathethwano," wathi U-Bilal Saab, owayesakuba ligosa le-Pentagon ngoku ongumntu omkhulu kwiziko eliphakathi le-Middle East.
Kodwa olu hlaselo luza kwenza kube nzima ngakumbi ukuqala kwakhona uthethathethwano ne-Iran. Iza ngomzuzu obuthathaka xa abemi baseYurophu bezama ukwenza amalungiselelo “okuthobela ukuthotyelwa” ukuze bavuselele i-JCPOA. Olu qhankqalazo luya kwenza inkqubo yozakuzo ibe nzima ngakumbi, njengoko inika amandla ngakumbi kumacandelo eIran aphikisana nesivumelwano kunye noluphi na uthethathethwano neMelika.
Ukubonisa inkxaso ye-bipartisan yokuhlasela amazwe azimeleyo, abaphambili kwiRiphabhlikhi kwiikomiti zangaphandle ezifana neSenator Marco Rubio kunye no-Rep. Michael McCaul kwangoko samkela uhlaselo. Ngokunjalo nabanye abaxhasi beBiden, ababonisa ngokungakhathali ukukhetha kwabo ekuqhushumeni ngumongameli weDemokhrasi.
Umququzeleli weqela Amy Siskind Wathumela umyalezo kuTwitter: “Kwahlukile ke ukuba nomkhosi phantsi kweBiden. Akukho nqanaba lisongelayo kwisikolo esiphakathi kwi-Twitter. UTrust Biden kunye nobuchule beqela lakhe. ” Umxhasi weBiden uSuzanne Lamminen wathumela umyalezo kuTwitter: “Olu hlaselo luzolile. Akukho drama, akukho kugubungela iTV ngeebhombu ezibetha iithagethi, akukho zimvo malunga nokuba ungunjani umongameli uBiden. Onjani umahluko. ”
Ngombulelo nangona kunjalo, amanye amalungu eCongress athetha ngokuchasene noqhankqalazo. "Asinakulumela ugunyaziso lweCongressal phambi koqhankqalazo lomkhosi kuphela xa kukho uMongameli weRiphabhlikhi," utshilo u-Congressman Ro Khanna, "uLawulo bekufanele ukuba lufuna ukugunyaziswa kwe-DRM apha. Kufuneka sisebenzele ukukhupha kuMbindi Mpuma, singanyuki. ” Amaqela oxolo kwilizwe liphela aphinda loo mnxeba. Ummeli uBarbara Lee kunye neeSenethi UBernie Sanders, UTim Kaine kwaye UChris Murphy Ukwakhuphe iingxelo nokuba uyabuza okanye uyalugweba uqhankqalazo.
Abantu baseMelika kufuneka bakhumbuze uMongameli Biden ukuba wathembisa ukubeka phambili ukudibana kwezomkhosi njengesixhobo esiphambili somgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle. U-Biden kufuneka aqonde ukuba eyona ndlela ikhuselekileyo yokukhusela abasebenzi base-US kukubahambisa eMiddle East. Kuya kufuneka akhumbule ukuba iPalamente yase-Iraq yavota kunyaka ophelileyo ukuba imikhosi yase-US ishiye ilizwe labo. Kuya kufuneka kwakhona aqonde ukuba imikhosi yase-US ayinalungelo lokuba seSyria, nangoku "ikhusela ioyile," ngokwemiyalelo kaDonald Trump.
Emva kokusilela ukubeka phambili ukudibaniselana kunye nokujoyina kwakhona isivumelwano se-Iran, u-Biden ngoku, sekusele inyanga ukuba abe ngumongameli, ubuyele ekusebenziseni umkhosi emkhosini esele ichithwe yiminyaka engamashumi amabini yokwenza imfazwe e-US. Le ayisiyiyo into ayithembisileyo kwiphulo lakhe kwaye ayisiyiyo into eyavotelwa ngabantu baseMelika.
