 Pentagon Begins Sudden Troop Withdrawal From Major Iraq Bases: Report

The US has maintained a military presence in Iraq under the pretext of fighting ISIS, despite Washington’s covert support for the organization

US forces have begun their withdrawal from two major military bases in Iraq, accelerating a previously negotiated timeline for the drawdown of International Coalition troops, Iraqi Kurdish media reported on 24 August.

According to a high-level source in the Iraqi government speaking with Kurdistan24, the withdrawal began Sunday morning following an order issued by the US Embassy.

The source stated that the Ain al-Asad base in Anbar and the Victory base at Baghdad International Airport are expected to be completely evacuated within the next few days.

The source added that some 2,000 US troops have been stationed at Ain al-Asad, a key hub for US operations in the country.

An Iraqi security source speaking with Shafaq News had provided a longer timeline for the withdrawal from Ain al-Asad, stating last week that the last US soldier would leave the base by 15 September, after which the international coalition headquarters there would be permanently closed.
