The US army is preparing to start withdrawing troops from several sites in Iraq, including in the capital Baghdad, and will relocate them to the northern city of Erbil in the country’s autonomous Kurdistan region, according to Al-Sumeriya.

An Iraqi government source told the outlet on 17 August that “the international coalition will withdraw from Ain al-Assad base, Baghdad airport, and the Joint Operations Command toward the city of Erbil.”

The source added that “the withdrawal of coalition forces will take place in September, in implementation of the agreement between Baghdad and Washington,” noting that “the military trainers will remain in the country and have nothing to do with the withdrawal of international coalition forces.”
