The United States and NATO have sought a temporary ceasefire in Iraq to facilitate their withdrawal, according to Iraqi resistance factions.

Abu Mahdi al-Jaafari, spokesperson for the Awliyaa Al-Dam Brigades, said Washington and NATO requested mediation through the Iraqi government “to obtain a temporary 24-hour truce from the resistance factions, with the aim of completing the withdrawal of their forces from the Victory base in Baghdad towards Turkey.”

He added that several factions agreed to the truce under strict conditions, including that “the Popular Mobilization Forces’ positions extending from Samarra to Karbala not be targeted,” warning that any violation “will be met with a strong response.”

Al-Jaafari also noted that NATO aircraft were unable to land at the base due to the intensity of ongoing attacks, stating that “NATO S-30 aircraft failed to land inside Victory base due to the intensity of the fire targeting the base.”

Not knowing & understanding how many countries USA empire conquered is a major fail in common knowledge overall (overall I mean, not you specifically).

One could argue that WWII ended so why are there USA military bases in Europe (with USA jurisdiction, even USA-confronted nuclear weapons). One would assume allies support each other's by supporting each other's capabilities etc, not try to economically exploit by forcing to use the empire's systems via military & political pressure etc.

I am aware of all those things, but specifically not the occupation of Iraq.
