A report by the American Fox News network confirmed on Sunday that while the Iraqi government is demanding that American and coalition forces leave Iraq and not make the country an arena for conflict in the region, the Kurdistan Regional Government is begging the United States and its allies to stay in the country or at least in the region, saying, “Don’t forget us.”
The report, translated by Al-Maalouma Agency, quoted the representative of the regional government, Trifa Aziz, as saying, “This is not the right time to reduce coalition forces in Iraq,” on the pretext that “ISIS poses a serious threat to Iraq and the region in particular.” According to her claim.
“For a decade, the Kurdish Peshmerga forces worked side by side with US forces, and the Kurdistan Regional Government has been a reliable security partner of the United States and remains ready to enhance cooperation,” she said.
The report explained that “Baghdad is pushing the United States to leave Iraq. The United States may feel compelled to meet this request or risk creating another enemy in the Middle East, but the Kurdistan Regional Government said it would be “willing and able” to host American coalition forces on its territory.”
The report stated that “the Kurdistan Regional Government demanded that the US government “fulfill its commitment” in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2024 to provide the Kurdistan Regional Government with a comprehensive air defense system.”
“As a steadfast U.S. ally regularly targeted by extremist violence, the KRG requires assurances that it will be protected from all threats, both internal and external,” Aziz said.
