The Iraqi resistance set three conditions for the agreement to withdraw foreign forces from Iraq today, Sunday.
The resistance said in a statement that “the issue of the exit of all foreign forces from Iraq – including the American ones – is one of the most important goals that the Coordination Body of the Iraqi Resistance has set its sights on, and its men have made sacrifices and lives in redemption and sacrifice for the sovereignty of our state and the dignity of our people.”
It added, “While we welcome the efforts made by the Iraqi government to expel the so-called (international coalition forces) from the country, we believe that the American side is not honest, and that it is trying to procrastinate the issue, to gain time.”
The Islamic Resistance confirmed “its position that it had previously conveyed to the Prime Minister and the leaders of the Coordination Framework, which is that the agreement that is to be concluded must explicitly include three basic points, which are:
First: That the exit be
comprehensive and according to a clear and agreed upon timetable.
Second: That their operations – which they want to carry out inside Syrian territory from Iraqi territory – not be in violation of the Iraqi constitution and the good neighborly relationship between the Iraqi and Syrian states.
Third: Not granting immunity to foreign military forces, whatever their names.
It noted that “other than these conditions, the resistance is not concerned with any agreement that does not include what was mentioned above.”
A joint American-Iraqi statement announced the day before yesterday, Friday, the end of the coalition’s mission in Iraq within 12 months and no later than the end of September 2025,” noting that “the coalition’s military mission in Syria will continue until September 2026.”
