Iraqi Minister's Controversial Qualifications

Peace be upon you.

What a disgrace, and what a disaster we are in with you.

The Prime Minister goes to Turkey, sitting with President Erdoğan in front

قاعد ويا الرئيس أردوغان

of the media at a table, with the Iraqi cabinet

delegation and the Turkish delegation in front of him, ready to sign.

One of the issues they must sign is the Development Road project,

which Turkey is currently working on with Syria, Jordan,

and Saudi Arabia on a route, and on another route with Egypt,

Why is Iraq's route dormant? Let's see.

Al- Sudani is sitting with President Erdoğan with open mics

Erdoğan asks him," Where is the Minister of Transport?

ما يقبل يوقع.

We went there without agreeing among ourselves,

meaning we reached Ankara without agreeing whether we should sign or not.

Who is this Minister of Transport, anyway? Listen. Razzaq Muhaibas.

رزاق محيبس.

He has a Bachelor's in Islamic Sciences. Islamic Sciences!

علوم إسلامية!

Now, what does someone with an Islamic Sciences degree know about development?

With the issue of railways, infrastructure, trains, and cargo, unloading,

loading, ports, sustainability, energy, and pollution,

What does an Islamic Sciences graduate have to do with the Ministry of Transport?

What does he have to do with it?

Will he recite over the trains so they arrive safely? The travel prayer?

دعاء السفر؟

A member of the leadership body in the Badr Organization.

A member of the Central Shura in the Badr Organization.

This is the Minister of Transport.

Of course, if Iran tells him not to sign, he won't, even if he weren't the minister.

You have disgraced us today.

We are treating Turkey as if it's some minor, passing country in the region,

signing or not signing as we please.

Do you know what Turkey is?

Do you know Turkey's industrial base?

Do you know Turkey's importance in NATO?

Do you know how big Turkey's army is?

Do you know what Turkey is? You are a disgrace. You are scandalous.

أنتم مخازي.

أنتم فضايح.

You are an embarrassment to us as Iraqis. A disgrace.

We feel ashamed of your presence in power.
