Iraqi Parliament approved the end of US military presence in the country.

If the army doesn't sign it, do you think PMU will clash with the army?

maybe that's what we all don't know

It seems the Americans knew that Iran and Iraqi government are planning kick them out that’s why they killed soleimani just like they did in Vietnam when they bombed the northern Vietnamese army and viet cong for the last time before they evacuated before the fall of Saigon.

It's possible, but I personally think that the Iraqi parliament would've never passed a resolution against the US forces without a strong motivation like this. Iraq was highly divided and the American media were trying to blame Iran for the problems in Iraq. Trump's move took the pressure off Iran and put the USA on the focus instead.

This is sad USA is about to exit Iraq so easily. Trump has achieved what he wanted to achieve with this assassination.

they will be attacked from Iran soil even if they are going out lots of them will go in body bags

Muqtada al-Sadr is calling for the immediate closure of the US embassy and a "humiliating" extrusion of US forces from Iraq, also called for the formation of "International resistance units"

With Pompeo proclaiming that the majority of Iraqis want the US presence to remain, one can conclude that the US has no intention of leaving and a military escalation is expected.

Wow..

Trump wants to leave Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria. He has too much pressure not to withdraw in the US Congress. Now he has an excuse to leave. The ends justify the means.

Trump also said that he will put “very big sanctions” on Iraq if they force troops out.

“We have a very extraordinarily expensive airbase that’s there,” Trump told the press pool on Air Force One. “It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it.”

“If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis. We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame,” he added.

Trump don't has an excuse to leave but he has been forced to leave. Now if something goes bad no one can blame him like Obama. Americans are not stupid they know killing Soleimani will make the leave Iraq and still they killed him why? Cause they wanted to leave Iraq.

Actually you should have because even though they were Iranian colony they bark at Iran few years ago. They asked to review the treaties of between Qatar’s and tsars to be honest with you if I was in their place I wouldn’t mention these treaties because they show that shirvan and arran were Qatar territories.

Trump just ruined everything the US gained in the battle with Iran when it comes to the Iraqi arena of operations, all because of several foolish strikes.

Either way the war against ISIS has not finished, the pressure on the army will increase without foreign air force support.
