This was confirmed by the brief statement issued by the Joint Iraqi Operations Command, said on Tuesday that US forces were not granted permission to remain in Iraq, and that their entry from Syria was intended to move out of Iraq. The Joint Operations Command, the highest command formation to manage the various Iraqi military and security formations, and supervised by Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, said in a press statement that “the media reported on the withdrawal of US troops from Syria towards Iraq.” He added: “We show here that all US forces that have withdrawn from Syria, got approval to enter the Kurdistan region, to move out of Iraq,” stressing that “there is no approval to stay these forces inside Iraq.”

Gen. Mohammed Allawi, the director of operations of the Fourth Division. Their protections are ambushed by remnants of ISIS in al-Bazul area behind the lover’s palace in Samarra district.
