The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces explained that the goal of maintaining the security and sovereignty of Iraq on its territory, airspace and waters is a major focus within the objectives of the government program in the field of defense and facing security challenges, especially in the post-end phase of the tasks of the international coalition.

Earlier this year, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry announced the success of the negotiations with America and the agreement to form a “supreme military committee” to draft a specific and clear timetable that determines the duration of the presence of the advisers of the international coalition in Iraq.
On Wednesday, June 5, a political source was informed, revealed a 40-day deadline granted by armed Iraqi factions to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, to resolve the file of removing US forces from the country, promising that otherwise it would resume their attacks against US military forces.
In early February, attacks by armed groups on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria stopped, after a drone attack killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan, in response to which the United States carried out air strikes on sites in Iraq and Syria.
In the midst of the new developments, a political source familiar with Shafaq News told Agency that “a number of armed factions have given the Sudanese and his government until mid-July to resolve the file of removing American forces from the country.”
The source added, “The factions stipulated the establishment of an announced and binding timetable for the resolvement of this file, and otherwise military operations against American goals and interests in Iraq and the region will be resurred.”
On January 30, 2024, the Hezbollah Iraq Brigades announced the cessation of its operations against US forces in order to “not embarrass the Iraqi government,” recommending its fighters “temporarily negative defense.”
Iraqi armed factions launched periodic attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria, which began in late October 2023, against the backdrop of the Gaza war.
