As the third round of strategic talks between America and Iraq begins, Iraqi resistance groups are emphasizing the need to end the foreign military presence in the country.
The resistance and the Iraqi people are calling for the implementation of a resolution of Iraqi parliament passed in 2020, which emphasizes the need for the withdrawal of American and foreign troops from the country. While America is trying to circumvent the Iraqi parliament’s resolution, the Coordinating Committee of the Resistance has stressed the need to implement it, noting that “if these strategic talks do not explicitly state the date of the final and complete ground and air withdrawal of the occupying forces, their resistance.” The resistance will not accept any major blow, and then the resistance will not accept any request from either side to wait for the outcome of the talks or political negotiations, but all of this will be completely invalid and the only final solution will be the same. That creates weapons. “
Attacks on American forces in Iraq have been carried out in a variety of ways, from improvised explosive devices to landmines, but as US forces have retreated from cities since 2011, rocket and mortar attacks have increased.
The escalation of military strikes has led the United States to sharpen the tone of threats against the resistance, but the power of the resistance has lowered the voice of the United States, which has boycotted prominent figures in Iraqi resistance groups and religious institutions. However, these sanctions have not prevented widespread popular opposition and military resistance attacks in order to completely oust the US and foreign forces from Iraq.
As attacks on US forces escalate, assassinations of Iraqi security forces have increased, which some political forces see as an excuse to extend US troops in the country.
The consequences of the presence of American troops in Iraq will be severe, given the widespread opposition of the gunmen and the threat of resistance groups in Iraq.
The Iraqi resistance was established in 2003 and has expanded in recent years, but it became more prominent in 2014 as the war against al-Qaeda began, and later merged into al-Hashd al-Shabi, which was formed in 2018 under a fatwa issued by the Supreme Authority.
