Sudanese to Washington: There is no need to worry! American newspaper: “Adjustment as the situation changes”

Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani said that negotiating the status of the international coalition led by the United States “is no cause for concern” as the Iraqi forces are now in control of everything, especially the borders with Syria, in an interview with a prominent American newspaper, which said that the position of the Iraqi Prime Minister “A change compared to last year,” while indicating “possible adjustments” in the status of American forces.

Al-Sudani in an interview with the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the Davos Forum, followed by the 964 network:
We believe that the justifications for the international coalition have ended. There is no set date for the coalition’s departure.

We do not accept repeated attacks on American forces, and we also reject the American drone strike in Baghdad against a leader of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

There is no need to worry, we have security forces capable of controlling all areas of Iraq. The Iraqi-Syrian border is under complete control.

We do not agree with US policy towards the conflict in Gaza. The West ignores the suffering of the Palestinians before Hamas attacks Israel, and pressure must be put on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the “genocide.”

American newspaper:
US officials have confirmed that some adjustments to the status of the international coalition, which includes about 900 soldiers from more than two dozen countries as well as a battalion of 2,500 US soldiers, may be necessary. They also warned that an early withdrawal of US and foreign forces could increase instability in the Middle East.

Al-Sudani’s request to leave the US-led coalition signals a change in his position, as he said last year in an interview with the same newspaper that foreign forces were still needed to train and assist Iraqi units in the fight against ISIS, but not to participate in combat.
