   Abu Saeeda: American forces will not withdraw from Iraq, and the nature of their presence will be changed

Information / Baghdad...

The head of the movement and the presence of Mohammed Sharif Abu Saida, ruled out the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, expecting to change the status of their presence.

Abu Saida told Al-Maalouma that "America controls 3 of the largest military bases in the region, Ain al-Assad, Harir and Victoria inside Iraq and al-Tanf near the Iraqi-Syrian border."

He added that "the extension of the state of emergency in Iraq by US President Joe Biden is an explicit confirmation of the continued presence of his military forces in Iraqi territory," pointing out that "the visit of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani to Washington last month did not discuss the file of withdrawal of US forces from Iraq."

"Anyone who talks about a systematic withdrawal of US forces from Iraq is delusional, as what will happen is to change the status of these forces from a combat soldier to an advisor," he said.
