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.”

Right, which is exactly the point I am making.

The media that you watch does not inform you of what is going on. That is true for most Americans. Not sure how the fact that you are ignorant of basic facts fails to support that conclusion.

I dont "watch" news media, only read.

My sources, ranging from niche leftist opinion pieces to mainstream legacy media real journalism does not inform me of the specifics of the current situation going on in Iraq because i do not live in Iraq, not because there is anything wrong with the media in question, as you seem to imply.

And no, dont be deliberately obtuse, that is what you're implying.

I'm well aware of many other attrocities of the US empire, but not this specific situation. You could just share what you know with some sources.

Imagining everyone around you as some clown that only consumes US state department propaganda must feel great for that big ego of yours, but it doesn't help anyone.

Evidently they're not "basic facts" because almost no one seems to know about them apart from you.
