Abdul-Mahdi reveals the reasons for the conflicting message of the American withdrawal from Iraq

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi said that his country received yesterday a message from the American leadership talking about withdrawing from Iraq before it was said that it was a mistake.

Abdel-Mahdi explained that the Arabic translation of the US command's message in one of the paragraphs was the opposite of the English version, but he said that the US military command sent a second copy of its message that matched the English version. "We are consulting to find the best way to implement the withdrawal decision," he said.

For his part, US Defense Secretary Mark Esber said - in statements to CNN that the draft message bears no value and the United States is not about to withdraw from Iraq.

He added that the Iraqi people wanted a free, prosperous and free Iraq from Iran's pernicious influence, he said.

The US Chief of Staff, General Millie, said earlier that the message the military command sent to its Iraqi counterpart yesterday to inform it that American soldiers would begin withdrawing from Iraq was a "non-signed draft" that was sent "by mistake."

In the letter addressed to the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, the US military says that the Washington-led coalition is in the process of carrying out "repositioning" operations with the goal of "safe and effective withdrawal from Iraq," but General Millie said that this particular paragraph was "poorly drafted", because it is " It means withdrawal, and that is not what is happening. "

Milli added that he had seen the intelligence information about what was being attended by the former commander of the Iranian Quds Force Qassem Soleimani, and that it was referring to an imminent danger.

He said that the threats were clear in size and scope, and that the information did not specify the goal, time, place and how to implement it, and he confirmed that Soleimani was coordinating and preparing for simultaneous combat actions targeting American forces in the region.

The Iraqi parliament called on the government to end the presence of foreign forces in the country in the wake of the assassination of Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, with an American raid in Baghdad on Friday, but US Payment Minister Mark Esber said that the voting session "was not attended by any Kurdish deputy, and no black Most of the Sunni representatives, and many Shiite representatives participated under the threat.
