Iraq's Move to End Coalition Presence Amid Rising Tensions| How Will U.S Respond? | Oneindia
The Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, is establishing a committee to end the U.S.-led coalition's mission following a U.S. strike that heightened tensions. The strike, in retaliation for attacks on U.S. personnel, led to demands for the coalition's withdrawal from Iran-aligned groups. With limited control over such factions, Prime Minister Sudani faces challenges. Additionally, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for fatal explosions in Iran, further complicating the region's security dynamics.
