The anti-terror groups may resume attacks on American military convoys and army bases because it had not complied with Iraq’s formal demand to leave.

Last October, all resistance factions in Iraq agreed to suspend attacks on US occupation forces provided that the government presents a timetable for their pullout.

They called on the government to implement the January 5, 2020 parliamentary resolution that demands the expulsion of all foreign military forces led by the United States.

In early 2003, the US invaded Iraq under the later debunked pretext that the regime of Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.

US redeployment

It withdrew soldiers from Iraq between 2007 and 2011, But, it redeployed them in 2014 along with other partners to allegedly counter the threat from the Daesh terrorist group.

Since then, Washington has been fabricating scenarios to prolong its presence in the country in defiance of the parliamentary resolution.

Baghdad and Washington have in recent months held several rounds of strategic talks on the pullout of foreign forces from Iraq.

Iraqi Resistance Coordination Commission

On Saturday, the Iraqi Resistance Coordination Commission (IRCC) said the government had been given multiple opportunities to determine the fate of foreign military personnel.

But it lamented what resulted from the (Iraqi-American) rounds of talks very bad and unfortunate.

In a statement, it said that by rejecting to exit its forces [from Iraq], the US administration has sent us a clear message that they only understand the language of force.

Therefore, the Iraqi resistance confirms its full readiness to carry out its legitimate, national and legal duty to achieve this goal.
