The security expert, Aqil Al-Taie, explained the visit of the US Secretary of Defense to Iraq, Lloyd Austin, to Baghdad in order to maintain the presence of his combat forces in the bases of Baghdad, Erbil and Anbar, and to ensure that they are not attacked.
Al-Taie told Al-Maalouma, “The American forces are present in bases inside Baghdad, Anbar, and Erbil, and these bases are combat, not training, and the visit of US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to Baghdad came to confirm the presence of these forces.”
He added, “Some political blocs clearly reject the presence of these forces on Iraqi soil, while others allude to the continued presence of these forces in order to preserve their positions in the political process.”
And he indicated, “There is a possibility to remove the American forces away from the use of force through the implementation of the parliament’s decision to remove the American forces, especially since the decision was taken by Parliament during the era of former Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, but it was not implemented because the government was a caretaker at the time, and today the opportunity is open to the government.” to implement the decision.
