The Reuters news agency had previously claimed, citing unnamed sources, that the drones used in the attack were on the home of the Iranian-Iraqi prime minister, but American officials have recently admitted that the allegation is baseless.
NBC News yesterday published interviews with several former US officials about the recent assassination attempt on the Iraqi prime minister’s home, which exposed the usual Reuters coverage by lying, although this is not the first time that the British News Agency is creating an atmosphere and creating an artificial wave in the media space.
According to the report, several high-ranking American military officials, some former officials and some regional experts, despite the initial accusations of some US officials, say that the attempt to assassinate the Iraqi Prime Minister could not be the work of Iran.
Former United States Ambassador to Iraq Douglas Suleiman is one of those figures who say: The assassination of Mustafa al-Kazemi not only does not serve Iran’s strategic interests, but will plunge that country (Iran) into a series of problems “at the borders,” so such an action could not be Iran’s job.
He, who was previously the US ambassador to Baghdad, explained his knowledge of the behavior of Iran and resistance groups, explaining the false accusation against Iran: “If Iran had given such an order to attack Al-Kazemi, I would be very shocked and I will be surprised.
Suleiman, meanwhile, failed to dispel the usual American accusations against Tehran, claiming that “Iran wants Iraq to be so unbalanced that it can wield its vast political and economic influence in that country.”
“Attacking Al-Kazemi is never in Iran’s strategic interests,” Norm Roll, a former US intelligence chief who has worked for US intelligence for 34 years and has worked in the Middle East for 34 years, told NBC News and concludes that accusing a woman of Iran does not make sense.
Meanwhile, Iraqi security and strategic affairs expert Kazem al-Hajj says the drones attacking the home of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi were made in France.

Al-Hajj, in an interview with the Tigris television network, mentioned the coordinates of the attack drones, citing published images of it and the ammunition installed on the birds, stating that the drones were French.
Meanwhile, Haidar al-Barzanji, an Iraqi political researcher and observer, told Al-Ahd that Iraqi planes had flown over Baghdad’s Green Zone (the Iraqi prime minister’s residence) shortly before a drone attempted on al-Kadhimi’s home.
The NBC News report raises questions but remains unanswered as to why “US intelligence or its allies attacked the Iraqi Prime Minister al-Kadhimi before or during the attack.” Did not discover? However, NBC News preferred not to look at the inefficiency of US warning systems in Baghdad, including the siren system and the advanced Siram anti-aircraft system.
The remarks come as the American Embassy-based Siram Advanced Anti-Aircraft System, which monitors and intercepts the smallest flight targets and air threats from miles away, is unprecedented on the night of the drone strike on the prime minister’s home; An issue that remains a source of ambiguity and question for public opinion; However, some observers, citing numerous indications, concluded that the United States was involved in the assassination attempt on the Iraqi Prime Minister’s house last Sunday morning.
The recent assassination attempt on the Iraqi Prime Minister, which targeted his home, has raised a number of questions about the third party in the insurgency in Iraq and its aims.
Tahsin al-Khafaji, commander of the Iraqi Joint Operations, said: This question (the sudden paralysis of the Siram system) must be answered by experts, and we are discussing with the Americans about this delay of the air defense system.
However, regardless of Siram and his negligence, another question for observers is why the alarm bell of the US Embassy in Baghdad, which is activated even under normal circumstances for training and exercises of the occupying forces, remained silent in such operational conditions.
