Two lawmakers say that the Iraqi parliament has approved a "reciprocity measure" after U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order temporarily banning citizens from Iraq and six other Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.
The measure, adopted by lawmakers at a Monday session of parliament, is to apply to Americans entering Iraq.
Lawmakers Kamil al-Ghrairi and Mohammed Saadoun told The Associated Press that decision is binding for the government. Both say the decision was passed by a majority votes in favor but couldn't offer specific numbers. No further details were available on the wording of the parliament decision.
It was also not immediately clear who the ban will apply to — American military personnel, non-government and aid workers, oil companies and other Americans doing business in Iraq.
It was also not known if and how the Iraqi measure would affect cooperation in the fight against the Islamic State group in Mosul.
Trump's order includes a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, and a 120-day suspension of the U.S. refugee program.

LOL, in other news, over 100 thousand Iranians got in Iraq without even holding passports, Daesh men are controlling big portion of Iraq and non of the Iraqi soldiers can go to Daesh lands without the support of American soldiers. Even the US soldiers regularly come to Iraq without even notifying the central government of Iraq.
This news make me laugh and sad to see a nation that once used to be a sovereign country but now it's only found on map after the horrible invasion.
