\nTranslated from Arabic by Ibrahim Ebeid.\u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n\u200eIran’s proxies in Iraq, represented by the Safavid Shiite armed factions, will undoubtedly be affected by the war in many ways:\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eLogistical and financial weakness as a result of the depletion of Tehran’s capabilities.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eLack of direction and leadership due to Iran’s preoccupation with its major battle.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe escalation of widespread protests against manifestations of foreign dependency.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eAll these factors indicate the possibility of a decline in the role of these factions, especially if a national political alternative emerges that accommodates the state of widespread rejection and rebuilds the national project.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe central government in Baghdad has two choices: either seize the historical moment to dismantle the influence of militias and liberate political decision-making, or remain in a cycle of dependency and division.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eWill the Ba’ath return to be a pivotal player in the Iraqi arena?\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe Arab Socialist Baath Party constitutes a social and political presence despite more than two decades of attempts to eradicate, marginalize, and exclude it. It still maintains a tangible presence in the Iraqi collective consciousness, especially among the particularly popular circles that have been disproportionately affected by quota policies and corruption. It maintains and depends on the outside. Today, the party emerges as one of the potential actors in any alternative national project, for the following reasons:\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eHis consistent rejection of foreign interventions, whether American or Iranian.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eAdopting a nationalist unitary discourse that transcends sectarian divisions.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe existence of an organizational structure that remains operational secretly and openly in many governorates.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eHis rapprochement with the forces of Tishreen and the widespread protests that seek to overthrow the sectarian system of government.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eAs international and regional powers attempt to impose new political equations in Iraq, the Baath may be a central pillar of any broad national alliance that seeks to build a truly sovereign state, freeing Iraq from tutelage and controlled domination.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eIraq is at a delicate stage. The war may weaken Tehran’s domestic proxies, but it could also spark internal conflicts if not managed rationally and patriotically. Either a citizen state of law, or an open arena for an endless regional power struggle. The current moment of war may be a moment of salvation for Iraq if the national forces make good use of it. It would be a grave mistake to ignore established popular forces such as the Baath Party, the Tishreen forces, or independents, because building a new Iraq requires a comprehensive historical alliance that restores the meaning of the state, the people’s decision, and Arabism its identity.\u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
