The Iraqi parliament voted on Sunday to
support the expulsion of all foreign troops
from the Iraqi territory and cutting off
ties with the US-led international
anti-terrorist coalition due to the Friday's
assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the
commander of the elite Quds Force of the
Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
in Bagdad.
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive
air base that’s there. It cost billions of
dollars to build. Long before my time We’re
not leaving unless they pay us back for it
[...] We will charge them sanctions like
they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make
Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame”, US
President Donald Trump said Sunday, while he
was traveling from Florida

Trump referred to the Balad military base
that houses US forces some 50 miles north of
Baghdad. Trump also hinted that the
administration "may discuss" releasing
intelligence related to the killing of
Qassem Soleimani.
Kataib Hezbollah, Iraqi Shia militias within
the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces,
threatened earlier to launch attacks on
military installations used by the US forces
in Iraq if the Trump administration does not
quickly implement the Iraqi ultimatum to
withdraw its troops from the nation.
