Trump califică drept o „victorie” pentru SUA retragerea din Irak. Dar miliţiile pro-iraniene din această țară refuză să predea armele: „Avioanele americane continuă să zboare aici”

President Trump hailed the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq as a victory, criticizing past administrations for their decisions. He emphasized the importance of leaving Iraq with a new prime minister, Ali al-Zaidi, and compared this withdrawal favorably to the chaotic exit from Afghanistan. However, pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, part of the Islamic Resistance, rejected any terms for disarmament, citing ongoing U.S. military operations in the region. They declared their weapons would remain with their fighters and demanded full sovereignty for Iraq, including the withdrawal of all foreign forces. The Iraqi government had initially planned for disarmament to coincide with the coalition's withdrawal but extended the deadline due to militia resistance.
