FOLLOWING THE US TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE MARTYRDOM OF SARDAR SOLEIMANI, THE ATTACK ON THE BASE OF THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES(HASHADUL SHAABI) AND THE VIOLATION OF THE IRAQI NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY, THE IRAQI PARLIAMENT APPROVED THE WITHDRAWAL OF AMERICAN TROOPS FROM IRAQI TERRITORY AT THE REQUEST OF IRAQI PUBLIC OPINION. THE RESOLUTION VIOLATES THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN IRAQ AND THE UNITED STATES REGARDING THE PRESENCE

OF AMERICAN TROOPS IN THE COUNTRY, AND THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF THOSE FORCES ON IRAQI SOIL IS ILLEGAL. THE PRESENCE OF MILLIONS OF IRAQIS IN PROTESTS AGAINST THE PRESENCE OF AMERICANS IN THE COUNTRY WAS A STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE RESOLUTION, HOWEVER, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATRSTION HAS RESISTED THE RESOLUTION AND INSISTS ON THE PRESENCE OF ITS FORCES IN IRAQ.
