Baghdad / Obelisk: According to an international report, less American forces remained in Iraq to ensure a continuous relationship with a major partner in the Middle East region at the military and diplomatic level.
According to a report by the American Associated Press, “The remaining forces, numbering 2,500 soldiers, are distributed around the country, most of them in military bases in Baghdad and the Kurdistan region.”
And the report continued, “While the number of forces at the height of the war during the year 2007 was more than 170,000 soldiers, American officials say that the presence of a limited level of forces, but on an ongoing basis, is a vital and important matter that shows the commitment of the forces to maintain the security of the region against No outside influence.
The report goes on to state that “the training and advising mission, with additional support from NATO forces, continued even after the end of the war against ISIS and its expulsion from its last stronghold in Syria in March 2019.”
The report noted, “The constant reason for the continued presence of US forces is to assist Iraq in its war against the remnants of the militants of the terrorist organization ISIS and to prevent the emergence of its threats again.”
He continued, “The presence of the American forces in Iraq also provides important logistical support to the American forces present in Syria, which provide support to the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Forces in their war against ISIS there.”
And the US forces rely on the legitimacy of their presence in Iraq to combat terrorism, as the US forces are considered part of the international coalition to fight the organization (ISIS) and secure the areas liberated from their control, and train and qualify the Iraqi forces by providing training, advice and direct assistance to the Iraqi forces to develop their military and security capabilities and improve its performance, and maintain stability and security
However, the analyzes see that America’s presence in Iraq is to defend its interests. The United States: The American forces in Iraq are considered part of the general American efforts to protect American interests in the Middle East and ensure the stability of the region.
