SULAYMANIYAH, Iraq — The President of Iraq Nizar Amedi told Breitbart News that American President Donald Trump is a “very significantly important man” in the scheme of history who can bring peace and prosperity not just to the Middle East but to the whole world by formally ending the war in Iran.
Amedi, speaking to Breitbart News through a translator, encouraged Trump to return to his focus on ending wars around the world, something Trump put a huge emphasis on during his 2024 presidential campaign and in his first year or so upon returning to the White House. Trump, of course, helped negotiate peace deals ending a number of wars and conflicts worldwide before the U.S. ended up ensnared in a prolonged conflict with Iran.
“Mr. Trump is a very significantly important man,” Amedi told Breitbart News. “He rules a very large nation. I want him to go back to first when he got elected, which was to end all wars, whether it’s the war between Ukraine and Russia or any other wars in the world. He should go back to that and bring peace to the region and end wars just like the ones he has already done.”
Amedi positioned Iraq as a key possible interlocutor between the two warring parties and said his message to both is to take advantage of the opportunity for true lasting peace now.
“Iraq is in the best place geographically and in a connectional matter between Iran and the U.S. There is a lot of opportunity for the U.S. as a partner for many years as well as Iran being an old neighbor of ours since forever,” Amedi told Breitbart News. “I have a single message for the U.S. and Iran: the sun is still shining. As long as you guys have the daylight where the sun is shining, you have to try and get along because there will come a time once the darkness comes where there won’t be room to do this anymore.”
Amedi sat down with Breitbart News for an exclusive interview here on Friday last week on the sidelines of the Slemani Strategic Forum in the Kurdistan part of Iraq. The event highlighted opportunities for the west in the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq. Kurdistan is a semi-autonomous, essentially self-governed region in northern Iraq on the border with Iran that is led by Kurds. Currently, there is a power struggle between various factions of Kurds over the structure of the government and this event was hosted in the part of Kurdistan in Iraq that is run by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK)—the other side of Kurdistan, in Erbil, is run by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
