 Will American forces leave Iraq through negotiation?

 The head of the organizing body of the Belt and Road Popular Movement, Hussein Al-Karaawi, on Tuesday ruled out the exit of the American occupation from Iraq through the ongoing negotiations between Baghdad and Washington, to end the military presence of the forces of the so-called international coalition.

Al-Karaawi told Al-Maalouma, “Historical facts with the American side confirm that its military forces will not leave Iraq through peaceful and diplomatic means, as their exit from the country in 2011 was preceded by successive strikes and major jihadist work by the Islamic resistance factions to ensure their expulsion from the country.”

He added, "America seeks through many ways to remain militarily inside Iraq, despite the presence of ongoing negotiations between the federal government and the American side regarding military withdrawal from Iraqi territory."

He stated that "Iraq has the ability and potential to protect and secure its lands and preserve them from any risks that may be exposed to them, and it also has the potential to secure the path to development and other economic projects without the need for the presence of any foreign military." link
