Tishwash:   US forces consisting of 25 vehicles enter Iraq

Today, Saturday, American forces arrived on Iraqi soil, consisting of 25 vehicles coming from Syrian territory through the Al-Waleed crossing.

The Syrian News Agency reported, "A column of 25 vehicles including trucks, tanks and refrigerators for the American forces left the base of Kharab al-Jir airport through the Al-Walid crossing in the form of batches to Iraqi territory."

And it indicated, "In recent weeks, the American forces have evacuated dozens of convoys from their bases in Hasakah countryside, towards their bases in Iraqi lands."

This comes as America prepares to withdraw more than a third of its forces in Iraq within weeks, while the outgoing US President Donald Trump announced last month his intention to withdraw all forces from Iraq as soon as possible.

The presence of American forces has become a big issue in Iraq, after the assassination of the Deputy Chairman of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, and the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani, in a US drone strike in Baghdad last January.

Days later, the Iraqi parliament approved a draft resolution directed at the government to end the operations carried out by foreign forces on the land of Iraq, but the decision has not yet been implemented   link
