"So far, the earthquake that struck the Bakhtaran region has caused one serious injury, 13 minor injuries, and hundreds of local residents have been left homeless. www.biquge.info≦≧ "Iraqi state television released the broadcast.

Then, the scene turned to the scene of the disaster area, the collapsed sheepfold is being renovated, the recovered sheep are being re-locked in the sheepfold one after another, and the Iranian residents are repairing the houses that have been damaged by the earthquake, including the figures of the Iranian National Liberation Army and Iraqi troops stationed there.

"The earthquake also caused the interruption of the mining operations that were being carried out in the previous stage, because the mining operations are related to the economic development of the Bakhtaran region, which will lead to the development of various industries such as road construction, transportation, tourism and so on, so Iraq has invested a large number of vehicles and is resuming production in the mining area." As the announcer spoke, the scene shifted to the newly built mining base, where the damage caused by the earthquake was being restored.

"However, we did not expect that at a time when the Bakhtaran region was hit by an earthquake, and when both sides were carrying out intense rescue efforts, they were subjected to groundless speculation and rude accusations from certain countries, claiming that the earthquake in the Bakhtaran area was caused by underground nuclear tests, and we strongly protest against this! Iraq is a non-nuclear State, one of the first countries to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and our country has not had any plans for nuclear weapons, even our plans for the peaceful use of nuclear energy, our Oshirak nuclear reactor, which was blown up three years ago by means of air strikes. ≦≧We welcome the IAEA verification at any time, but we oppose such a serious political verification at the malicious behest of the major powers! There was also an earthquake in the sè column, and if we want to verify it, we ask that the sè column also be subject to the same verification! If you disagree, then you should also be completely blocked and condemned by the international community! If the excuse is that the sè column did not sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, then. We also ask to withdraw from this treaty! No matter how big a country is, it can't practice double standards in this kind of thing! ”

This tough voice of Iraq, along with the words of the announcer, spread all over the world, causing an uproar in public opinion.

After the United States made that remark at the beginning, most countries were surprised and did not believe it, and there was never a clue that Iraq had developed nuclear weapons. ≦≧ now, how is it possible that an Iraq has conducted an underground nuclear test out of nowhere? Does Iraq have that capability?

Originally, it would have been known whether a nuclear test had been conducted or not, but Iraq was definitely not so easy to get along with, and it would have been depressing enough for another country to suffer an earthquake. No one is so comfortable to be so affected by a big country again, and it is normal to fight back, not to mention, there was also an earthquake in Israel, why didn't the United States go to the column to verify? This is clearly bullying! They know that Iraq can now be regarded as a victory over Iran, and the future path of Iraq is a matter of concern to the whole world. The United States certainly wants to exert a certain amount of pressure on Iraq and turn Iraq into a pro-American country like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, so that it can maintain US interests in the Middle East.

The reaction of other Middle Eastern countries in such a tense situation. It's even more important.

Just on the morning of May 19, Saudi Arabia sent Prince Sultan, Minister of Defense and Aviation, and Prince Fahd of Kuwait to Baghdad on a high-profile visit.

These two people. ≦≧ are all old friends of Qusay, although Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are both pro-American, but this time, they are all on the side of Iraq.

"Qusay, the earthquake that occurred in the Bakhtalan area, our two countries are very concerned, and our two countries have each provided 50 million dollars to provide funds for the reconstruction of the disaster area." Prince Sultan said.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are really rich countries, and the total loss of the Bakhtaram earthquake is actually not hundreds of millions, but the two countries have extended such a big helping hand without hesitation, and more importantly, it is the support for Iraq, which is not only symbolic.

"We are very grateful for the great support of both countries," Qusay said, "and at this critical moment, it is our own Arab brothers who are the most supportive!" ”

"The United States has gone very far this time, and if there is an ordinary earthquake, it will be inspected, and they are definitely coming for Iraq, Qusay, you have to hold on, Iraq must not be at the mercy of the United States." Prince Sultan said.

As a big country in the Arab world, Iraq's national defense policy must be independent and cannot be compromised under US pressure. ≦≧," Prince Fahd said.

Qusay was very moved in his heart, even if the two countries had this sentence, he was very grateful, not to mention, the support of the two countries is very great.

"Iraq, like us, relies on the export of oil to maintain its economy, but in recent years, Iraq has been slowly transforming, and Iraq will become the industrial center of our Middle East world, and in the future, the equipment of our troops will be imported into batches of weapons produced in Iraq." Prince Sultan said.

Compared with those dollars, Prince Sultan's words are even more supportive, which means that the national defense policies of these countries will gradually move away from the United States and move closer to the Middle East.

"Our production line is gradually expanding, striving to improve the local supporting capacity, our production capacity is gradually expanding, exporting weapons for our Arab brothers, we are very honored, the Mirage 4000 fighters ordered by Saudi Arabia, we will deliver them at the end of the year, T-72 tanks, are being improved in accordance with the ideas put forward by Saudi Arabia. ≦≧," Cusai said.

If its own production line supplies weapons to the entire Middle East countries, then the scale of Iraq's arms exports will probably rise to the top 10 in the world, which is a very remarkable achievement.

At that time, even if Iraq does not export oil, it will be enough for Iraq to have sufficient income by exporting weapons alone.

However, a necessary premise is that Iraq must have a good external international environment, and judging from the current US move, I am afraid that it will not be very easy.

The United States allowed the emergence of a major arms power in the Middle East and monopolized the supply of arms to the entire Middle East? What are you kidding, I'm afraid that as soon as there is a sign of this, the United States will suppress it.

What's more, some of the raw materials on Iraq's current production line still need to be imported.

And now the biggest headache.

"At present, the United States has exerted a lot of pressure on Iraq in a vain attempt to strike at Iraq's status through nuclear weapons inspection, and the United States has proposed that if Iraq does not agree, it will impose all-round sanctions on Iraq, and all projects that are cooperating with the United States will be temporarily terminated." Qusay said.

"The Americans will use sanctions as a means, but we in the Middle East must not be bullied by the United States in this way." Prince Fahd said: "If the United States wants to sanction Iraq, we in the entire Middle East will not be satisfied with this hegemonic behavior of the United States!" ”

"The United States has no suspicions about the earthquake in Israel, and it has also urgently provided assistance to Israel, but in the case of the earthquake in Bakhtalan, it is simply an excuse to play on the topic, and we absolutely cannot compromise on such malicious pressure from the United States." Prince Sultan said: "If the United States really imposes sanctions on Iraq because of such a thing, then we, the entire Arab world, will fight back against the United States." ”

"Our nearest field is preparing for a major overhaul, so there is a possibility of production cuts." Prince Fahd also said.

Oil is the main weapon of counterattack in the Middle East!

"If the United States agrees to have the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) personnel conduct inspections at the same time in Bakhtaran and Israel, we will very much welcome it, which is the duty of the countries involved in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but if the United States only unilaterally suspects Iraq, we cannot agree with it, and at the same time, there will be a large-scale overhaul of the crude oil production equipment and oil processing plants in Iraq and Iran." Qusay said.

Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, these major oil-producing countries in the Middle East, if the crude oil production equipment is overhauled at the same time, it can only be said that OPEC has not coordinated well, as for the fluctuation of international oil prices, it is also normal.

"Thank you very much for the support that both countries have shown to us in Iraq." In that case, Qusay said, the United States would certainly put pressure on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, both of whom are standing on Iraq's side at such a critical moment.

"We are Arab brothers, and this time, it is the Americans who have gone too far, and of course we have to support our Iraqi brothers." Prince Sultan said: "When we go back, we will get in touch with Oman, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, and it seems that their country's oil refining equipment should also be overhauled." ”

To put it bluntly, in response to this action of the United States, the oil-producing countries in the Middle East have seriously protested and cut crude oil production, which is a bit of a fuss, and it is not the time of 73 years. However, when the country's oil refining equipment is overhauled, they have nothing to say.

Since it is going to make trouble, the scale should be larger, and with Saudi Arabia's status in the Arab world, it is still very appealing to appeal to some Oman and other countries.

When the time comes, which Western country supports the United States, then I'm sorry, because its own oil refining equipment is being overhauled, and it will take some time for oil exports to your country to recover.

The support from the Arab world made Qusay feel confident again, "Your Excellency Qusay, can you tell us that this earthquake is indeed an ordinary earthquake in the Bakhtaran region?" At the end, Prince Sultan suddenly asked.
