The commander of the joint operations in Iraq, Major General Abdul Amir Al-Shammari, stressed that the recent talks with Washington were a continuation of the previous discussions related to the withdrawal of combat forces of the international coalition.
He added in an exclusive interview with "Al-Arabiya/Al-Hadath" that Blah had agreed with Washington on the survival of advisers and on maintaining intelligence cooperation and logistical support, explaining that the international coalition would continue to support the Iraqi forces logistically, in consultation and in information exchange.
He also revealed that Iraq has a list of the numbers of combat forces that withdrew and redeployed outside its borders, noting that the Patriot units in the Ain al-Assad and Harir bases, a force of marines and special units, are among the forces that withdrew.
He also noted that the withdrawing forces redeployed to Kuwait and Jordan.
On the other hand, he stressed that the duties of the NATO mission in Iraq were clear, and related to the development of institutions in the Ministries of Interior and Defense, stressing that NATO's duties differ from those of the international coalition.
He added that the existing coalition forces are present without combat forces, and they are stable in Iraqi bases and their external protection is secured by the Iraqi army.
He also pointed out that there are no camps under the full authority of the international coalition, stressing the commitment of the Iraqi forces to protect the columns of the international coalition and its forces present in the bases.
In addition, the official explained that the Baghdad Operations Command has complete plans and procedures to protect diplomatic missions in the capital, stressing that it will not tolerate any targeting of diplomatic missions.
In a related context, Al-Shammari pointed out that the National Intelligence Service is doing a great job in detecting terrorist cells even outside the borders.
He also stated that the intelligence agency is doing a great job in pursuing and dismantling ISIS terrorist cells, revealing that the latter has exploited the voids in the joint areas between the federal governments and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq.
He announced that the Border Guard Forces Command had received all the border strip with Syria, stressing that the army would be a second line to fill the gaps.
He also pointed out that the Iraqi forces dug a 200 km trench on the border with Syria and that they are continuing to dig.
It is noteworthy that Iraq had announced last week, the end of the combat missions of the international coalition forces and their official withdrawal from the country, ending their combat mission, which was charged with eradicating ISIS, and moving to an advisory mission to assist the Iraqi forces.
