I read this article online about Iraq’s President Barham Salih stated that about 2,500 US soldiers are in Iraq and their presence here is about to end. In this way, a decree issued in January 2020 by the Iraqi hemicycle that forces a total withdrawal of the foreign military forces from the country will be completed. That ordinance was sealed a few days of the assassination in Baghdad of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani by the US air force, which acted under the mandate of then President Donald Trump. Deputy commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and eight other combatants, also died in that attack.
