Information / Baghdad.

The Sadiqoun parliamentary bloc announced on Saturday its full support for Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani's steps to end the foreign presence in the country and achieve national autonomy. 

MP Rafiq Hashem told Al-Maalouma that "the removal of foreign forces, led by the Americans, from Iraq is the best response to the US terrorist attacks against the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization."

He added that "the US foreign presence has become a threat to the security of Iraq," noting that "the stay of these forces for a longer period is an obstacle to national autonomy."

He stressed that "the steps of the Prime Minister to end the foreign presence and achieve full national autonomy is a step in the right direction," noting that "the Iraqi people do not want these forces to remain under any title."

Most Iraqi political forces have issued their support to the prime minister on steps to remove US forces from Iraq after a series of attacks against Iraqi security forces.
