American Military Aids to the Kurdish Movement in Iraq According to the American Documents between 1969-1976.

Abstract

In order to preserve its interests in the region, the United States has used to exploit some of the internal problems of countries that oppose or stand against their policies, especially after its implementing the policy of filling the vacuum resulting from Britain's withdrawal from the region, as it found in the escalation of Iraq’s power and the importance of its threat to The Arab Gulf region. It stands against Israel and its aggressive policies in the Arab region and rejects all the settlements that were followed by American diplomacy and its rapprochement with the Soviet Union. The researcher finds that supporting the Kurdish militarily movement would make Iraq and its army far from the course of political and military events at the regional and international level. That is why Israel and Iran have border ambitions in Shatt al-Arab to exercise this role on their behalf. They claimed that the level of support is limited so that the Kurds are in a permanent defense position so that their movement does not provoke the rest of the Kurdish areas, especially in Iran and Turkey, provided that the military aid stops and the movement is abandoned. The armed Kurds meet their fate on their own, especially after achieving the goals set by the American administration, the most important of which is the signing of the Algiers Agreement in 1975 and the arrival of Iran is seeking its goal in the Shatt al-Arab, as well as signing settlement agreements between Israel and the Arab countries and securing their interests in the Arab Gulf. Hence the importance of the research that shed light on the volume of US military aid for the period between 1969-1976 CE, which began in the form of Kurdish appeals and requests to That it became a fait accompli, and the documents of the US State Department were a major source of the information contained in the research
