What is Russia’s Lavrov doing in Iraq? - analysis
Jerusalem Post ^ | 2/6/23 | Seth J. Frantzman

Russia’s Foreign Minister is in Iraq after an important trip to South Africa last month, which may be part of Russia’s attempt to carve out a new world order where Russia believes it can confront the US.

The US occupied Iraq after 2003 and many Americans died in Iraq fighting an insurgency. The US does continue to partner with Iraq against ISIS.

Russia’s decision to send its top diplomat to Iraq is symbolic and important in the Middle East, but in the 1980s and 1990s, Russia was a key partner of Iraq and the old regime of Saddam Hussein.

“Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who has arrived on a working visit in Iraq, will meet with President Abdul Latif Rashid, Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, speaker of the House of Representatives (parliament) Mohamed al-Halbousi and his Iraqi counterpart, Fuad Hussein, the Russian foreign ministry said on Sunday.”

End Times Ping

While it might sound significant, Lavrov traveling to Iraq should have the Mossad’s ear. And it will all end on the mountains of Israel as Ezekiel 38 & 39 state.

Simple answer : Iran is Russia’s ally in their war against Ukraine and the west.

This is not surprising. Iraq and the Soviet Union were good buds.

Our enemies are just countering the real New World Order.
