Not only did the United States leave behind the chaos and violence behind it in Iraq, it also left traces of casualties that would continue to be recorded for generations of Iraqis. The US military is alleged to have used chemical weapons during its stormy stay on mainland Iraq, whose devastating effects would have had on the local population and the environment, but the United States has been trying to cover up its black work with white lies. Eventually the truth came out.
For the first time, independent researchers have found out about Iraqi children, who are born with disabilities and diseases, such as heart diseases and organ dysfunction. The birth of these children took place around the US Airbus, established in the south of the country after the occupation of Iraq in 2003, where Americans used large quantities of radiation-depleted uranium. The basis of these researchers’ research was the disclosure made by Iraqi doctors of a long period of force. That during the first years of the war in Iraq (which led to the end of Saddam Hussein’s regime), the areas where there were tremendous wars, the high prevalence of babies born there is inherently physical. Pictures of these children are available on various sites, which require great courage.
In 2016, researchers performed child hair and dental care in the villages surrounding Talil Air Base, near the city of Nasiriyah, south of Baghdad. So they got uranium and thorium ingredients from their teeth and hair. These heavy radioactive metals are used in nuclear fuel and can cause cancer. Thorium is a poisonous by-product of direct chemical production from Depleted Uranium, which is used in the nuclear power industry. Thorium was used in weapons during the war in Iraq. Due to its high density, Depleted Uranium gives bullets the ability to pierce armored vehicles and other very powerful defense equipment. The US military used the metal for chemical purposes, pressed it out of the military base into the ground and burned it in pits, causing its toxic effects to fill the local atmosphere.
Michigan-based neutral and independent researcher (Mozhgan Savabieasfahani), co-author of this dissertation, says the rate of Thorium in children born with physical impairments in and around Talil Air Base these children have 28 times the amount of metal in them born in remote areas of Airbus and have no birth defects. We are seeing the effects of Depleted Uranium in these children, he says.
With the help of the data, researchers have concluded that children born near Talil Air Base have congenital anatomical defects, heart disease, spinal deformities, lip bites, organs, and increased risk of developing a disability or impairment. Researchers have uncovered today, but Iraqi doctors continue to express concerns and risks in the wake of a growing number of birth defects in the area of widespread military operations since the US invasion of Iraq. Other studies of this nature have shown that abortion, child cancer, leukemia, blood cancer and child mortality have been seen in various cities in Iraq where the US Army was established or fought wars. Fallujah is prominent in these cities, where the aforementioned major events of the war took place.
Scientists, Iraqi physicians and global observers, on the other hand, have been skeptical that Depleted Uranium is causing newborns and diseases in certain Iraqi newborns. In 2014, an Iraqi doctor made this shocking revelation while talking to a reporter for the website Tear Out that war is enough for genocide depleted Uranium genocide in areas that become the center of Iraq. Although the US government provided the Iraqi Ministry of Health with data to detect pollution from depleted uranium emissions, however, it is impossible to ascertain how much of this metal was used during the war. The war has left behind a variety of poisonous pollution. Due to which Iraqis have been facing environmental issues for over two decades, including serious problems such as birth defects, but the humanitarian organization of the United States and the Iraqi White House’s benevolent government are trying to cover up the matter by suppressing and manipulating the US to hide humanity’s antagonism and blackmail.
They have been trying to render the findings of research into depleted uranium use completely untrue, if not impossible. And fly around them in suspense. A survey was conducted by the World Health Organization and the Iraqi government, which resulted in claims being denied by Iraqi doctors. In this situation, different constituencies insisted that more research was needed in this case, and now the latest research studies have shown the direct link between the depleted Uranium and the US military in this area by proving the presence of Thorium in the hair and teeth of children born with physical defects in the vicinity of Talil Air Base. Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, co-researcher of the research effort, says that children’s teeth are very sensitive to environmental effects. The presence of such large quantities of Thorium in the teeth suggests that these effects occurred while they were in the womb.
According to UN data, in 2003 alone more than 2,000 metric tons of depleted uranium entered the Iraqi atmosphere, most of them came out of the thousands of US-fired bullets that spread into the atmosphere. Earlier, US troops used weapons equipped with depleted Uranium in Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War that led to Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. The soldiers returning from this war suffered from certain health problems, the disease was called Gulf War Syndrome. Researchers have long suspected that the cause of the disease could be the use of depleted uranium.
In the 2003 war, the United States sent thousands of tonnes of military equipment to Iraq; these include tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, infantry weapons, anti-aircraft systems, Depleted uranium was mounted on some of them. Many of this military equipment crashed into military bases and dozens are scattered near US airbase and other US installations in Iraq. In addition, it was stored in the depleted uranium in the US military base, which eventually evaporated into the atmosphere. The axis of the latest research study is Talil Air Base, but it is only one of dozens of US military sites scattered throughout Iraq, how much poison has been hidden inside and other US military bases, the facts have not yet been revealed. Mozhgan Savabieasfahani says that what we saw here (at Tel Airbus) in our research study and what it derives from is the same scenario as every American military base established in Iraq. Uranium and thorium pollution in the atmosphere are destroying the lives of pregnant women in the womb of pregnant women, they say.
The war on Iraq was imposed in the name of chemical weapons, the allegation later proved false, and now it has come true that the accusation that Iraq was justified and planted seeds of unrest and distraction, has been blamed by the Americans themselves on Iraqi soil for the truth. The US used a brutal element like the Depleted Uranium in Iraq to cripple Iraq’s Muslims. Or for that they do not have the status of a Iraqi settler or a Muslim man and they can be tried and tested on any tactic required by the war, whatever the case, the Americans have also recorded signs of their cruelty, apathy and humanity on the air and air of Iraq, children exposed to organs and exposed to illnesses, fatal diseases and environmental catastrophe and how long will the United States stay in Iraq for a long time? In fact, the US invasion of Iraq has not ended, and continues till now, and will continue to kill Iraqis for as long as they know it.
