The Hill | Iraq's parliament votes to expel US military
Iraq's parliament reportedly voted on Sunday to expel the U.S. military from the country after an American airstrike killed top Iranian military commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.
The nonbinding resolution passed Sunday demanded an end to foreign military presence in the country, with the aim of forcing the U.S. to withdraw 5,000 troops, according to The Associated Press. It declared an "achievement of victory" in stopping the Islamic State's advancement in the country and ended its "request for assistance" from the U.S. in the fight. |
