Increasing US military presence in Iraq and Syria

Despite the frequent demands of the governments of Iraq and Syria to leave the US forces in the land of those countries, but the evidence shows that Washington is making efforts to increase its military presence in these two countries, especially after the war in Gaza and the events of safely in the Red Sea. Washington announced on Monday that it plans to send 1,500 more troops to Iraq and Syria to fight the Daesh terrorist group following attacks on US military bases in Syria and Iraq. It is expected that the soldiers will first go to the Fort Bliss police base in the state of Texas for training before being sent to West Asia. The decision of the United States to send a new military force to Iraq and Syria for what it says is to fight Daesh has been taken while during the administration of the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, Washington was directly involved in establishing and promoting the group. that terrorist. The United States wants to send the new soldiers in a situation where since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year, the American military bases in Iraq and Syria have been attacked at least 130 times. Retired President of the United States, Barack Obama At the same time, the governments of Iraq and Syria, on several occasions, have wanted to leave the invading American troops in those countries. Regarding Iraq, recently the Prime Minister of that country, Mohammed Shia al Sudani, announced the position and demanded that the invading American army leave the country as soon as possible. After the terrorist killing of Lieutenant General Shahidi Soleimani, who was the Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Abu Mahdi al Muhandes, the Deputy Chief of al Hashdu Shaabi Movement of Iraq and their fellow jihadists at the Baghdad airport On January 3, 2020, the killings carried out by the United States, the Iraqi Parliament on January 5 voted to leave the country the invading forces of the coalition against Daesh, including the American troops in Iraq. Despite this, the United States has gone the opposite way, insisting that its army will continue to be present in Iraq. Finally, considering the political pressures in Iraq, the President of the United States Joe Biden and Mustafa al Kadhimi the Prime Minister of the time of Iraq promised in the middle of summer in 2021 that the US-led force in Iraq will finish its tasks before the end of 2021 . Iraqi Parliament In the last year of Donald Trump's presidency in 2020, the United States reduced the number of troops in Iraq to 2,500. The period of presence of American forces in Iraq apparently ended on December 31, 2021. Despite this, the United States has continued to have a military presence in Iraq at another address while controlling several military bases such as Ain al-Asad in the al Anbar region and the camp of Harir in Erbil province. Washington has continued to have a military presence in Iraq under the pretext of providing advice and training despite the Iraqi Parliament passing a bill to withdraw American forces from the country. This matter has been faced with strong opposition from Iraqis and in recent weeks drone and missile attacks have been witnessed against US military bases in Iraq and Syria. Daesh in Syria Regarding Syria, the Obama government also launched air and land operations in the country in 2014 under the pretext of fighting against the terrorist group Daesh (ISIS) and decided to send American troops to the country; in a situation where the United States itself founded and finances the terrorist group. Likewise, Donald Trump, the president of the United States at the time, continued the illegal presence of the country's invading forces in Syria under the pretext of fighting Daesh and began occupying some areas of Syria and looting the country's oil. The American invasion forces are present in areas in the east of Syria that have oil and gas wells and institutions and continue to steal Syrian oil and transport it through Turkish soil. Right now, the Biden government has maintained the presence of the country's soldiers by ignoring international rules and laws such as the one regarding the right to self-determination and also the unity authority of the entire land of Syria and without the approval of the United Nations Security Council. The US is doing this as part of its support for terrorist groups. It is clear that Biden is also promoting the same aggressive policies as Trump's towards the axis of the Resistance and Syria.
