    BAGHDAD - Mawazine News
    The US military will withdraw in the coming weeks from the Al-Qaim base, in addition to two other military bases in Iraq.
    The decision to withdraw from 3 of the 8 bases in Iraq indicates that the United States is looking to reduce its presence significantly in the country. According to the BBC.
    This comes amid increasing tensions with the Iraqi government and Iran.
    A ceremony will be held this week in Al-Qaim, as the United States will officially hand over equipment to the Iraqi army to help it ensure security in the area.
    Therefore, any American presence along the Iraqi side of the border with Syria will end.
    The base was built on the ruins of the oldest train station in Iraq, near a small town of the same name along the Euphrates.
    The region was the first place in Iraq in the hands of the Islamic State “ISIS” in 2014, and the last area to be recovered by Iraqi forces in November 2017.
    The United States is also planning to withdraw from Qayyara Airport, known as Qwest, and Kirkuk .
    Qayyarah was used in the US-backed operation to retake Mosul from the Islamic State. The two bases have been rocketed in recent months. A US contractor was killed in a missile attack on Kirkuk on December 28.
    Hizbullah Brigades held responsibility, followed by American air strikes against the group’s headquarters in Syria and Iraq, killing 25 people.
    At least 25 missile attacks, which have unleashed more than 160 missiles, have hit US bases in Iraq since October 2019.
    Last week, two attacks on the Taji base killed three members of the coalition, and seriously wounded two members of the Iraqi security forces.
    However, the US retaliatory attack on sites that the Americans say are storage facilities for Hezbollah munition ammunition, has killed three Iraqi army personnel, two local police officers and one civilian.
    The attacks strained the relationship between the Americans in Iraq and the country's army, and their hosts and Native Partners in the fight against the Islamic State.
    In an unusual move, the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, the control center for all military activities in Iraq, issued a statement blaming both sides, but supported the parliament’s vote to ask the Americans to leave.
    The official number of US forces in Iraq is estimated at 5,200. It is not clear how many troops will be redeployed after the three bases are closed, as some will be transferred to other operating bases within the country.
    The future of these remaining forces is not guaranteed. The United States hopes that its relationship with the Iraqi security forces will not have ended yet, but many in Iraq believe that America has stayed too long. End 29 / A 43

    (International: Al Furat News) The BBC said that "the American army will withdraw in the coming weeks from the Qaim base, west of Anbar province, in addition to two other military bases in Iraq.
    The decision to withdraw from 3 of the 8 bases in Iraq indicates that the United States is looking to reduce its presence significantly in the country. According to the BBC.

    The United States is also planning to withdraw from Qayyara Airport, known as "Qwest", and Kirkuk.
    The Qayyarah base was used in the US-backed operation to retake Mosul from ISIS.
    The two bases have been rocketed in recent months, and a US contractor was killed in a missile attack on Kirkuk on December 28.
    Hizbullah Brigades held responsibility, followed by American air strikes against the group’s headquarters in Syria and Iraq, killing 25 people.

    However, the US retaliatory attack on sites that the Americans say are storage facilities for Hezbollah munition ammunition, has killed three Iraqi army personnel, two local police officers and one civilian.
    The attacks strained the relationship between the Americans in Iraq and the country's army, and their hosts and Native Partners in the fight against ISIS.
    The US assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq earlier this year destabilized that fragile dynamic.
    General Soleimani, the commander of the elite force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, was killed on January 3 in a US drone attack near Baghdad airport, alongside Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces, and this led to a vote in the Iraqi parliament to expel all forces Foreigners, especially Americans, are from the country.
    US officials say they have been planning to leave areas like Qaim since last year due to the reduced threat from ISIS, but concerns about the safety of US and coalition forces have accelerated the move.
    A senior US Defense Department official told BBC that the proximity of the Hezbollah Brigades to al-Qaeda was "a major factor in calculating the decision to move the forces to another location."
    In an unusual move, the Joint Operations Command, the control center for all military activities in Iraq, issued a statement blaming both sides, but supported the parliament’s vote to ask the Americans to leave.
    The official number of US forces in Iraq is estimated at 5,200.
    It is not clear how many troops will be redeployed after the three bases are closed, as some will be transferred to other operating bases inside the country, and the future of these remaining forces is not guaranteed.
    The United States hopes that its relationship with the Iraqi security forces will not have ended yet, but many in Iraq believe that America has remained too much.

    [size=18]The American army will withdraw in the coming weeks from the Al-Qaim base, in addition to two other military bases in Iraq, according to a BBC report on Tuesday.


    According to the BBC report, the decision refers to withdrawing from 3 out of 8 bases in Iraq, pointing out that the United States is looking to reduce its presence significantly in the country.

    The report added that a celebration will be held this week in Qaim (western Anbar), where the United States will officially hand over the equipment to the Iraqi army to help it ensure security in the region, adding that any American presence will end along the Iraqi side of the border with Syria.







    The military base in Qaim was built on the ruins of the oldest train station in Iraq, near a small town of the same name along the Euphrates River.

    The region was the first place in Iraq that ISIS had seized in 2014, and the last to be recovered by Iraqi forces in November 2017.
