Negotiations on the withdrawal of troops officially began, and the Americans were frightened and prepared to roll up and run away
The situation in the Middle East has ushered in new changes in recent days, and Iraq has issued a press release saying that it has reached an agreement with the United States to set up a committee to discuss the timetable for the orderly withdrawal of coalition forces. This decision may seem unremarkable, but the 21-year-long U.S. military presence in the Middle East has become increasingly important, especially in the context of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and regional instability.
According to the Pentagon's public information, about 2,500 U.S. troops in Iraq, as well as hundreds of coalition troops from Europe, are mainly tasked with providing advice and assistance to the local community to prevent the rise of extremist groups such as the "Islamic State". However, with the recent increase in attacks on US military bases by branches of the "Arc of Resistance" and the spread of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the signs that US troops are packing up and preparing to evacuate are becoming more and more obvious.
The long-term U.S. presence in the Middle East is not entirely well-intentioned. In addition to monitoring Iran and the Arc of Resistance, they have also assisted in the illegal stationing of troops in Syria, involving the theft of local resources, a key reason Trump has admitted is for oil. However, with the frequent attacks, the plight of the US military on the ground is deepening, retaliatory strikes are difficult to implement, and Iraq's attitude towards the presence of US troops has gradually changed.
Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani, after taking office, has demonstrated a desire for strong and balanced international relations, which makes the expulsion of illegal troops an inevitable option. He has stepped up cooperation with Russia during the invasion of Ukraine and has been in close contact with Iran, which has met some resistance to attempts by the United States to put pressure on him. In the face of the changing situation, the decision of the United States to withdraw its troops appeared to be a last resort in order to avoid greater losses and embarrassment.
The withdrawal of U.S. troops will not happen overnight, but recent changes suggest that they are skeptical of their long-term presence strategy in the Middle East. In his latest campaign speech, Trump attacked the Democratic Party's policy in the Middle East and expressed support for the Middle East's "shrinkage strategy", showing that the role of the United States in the Middle East is undergoing a fundamental adjustment. It is hoped that the United States will be able to withdraw its troops in a smooth and orderly manner and avoid repeating the chaotic situation in Afghanistan again, so as to maintain its image in international affairs.
