Iraqi Parliament approved the end of US military presence in the country.

It's not yet verified.
And Iraqi PM just received the sanction list docs from the US...

seems verified to me

There were 2 viable options, US ceases recognition of the Iraqi gov and keeps cooperation with the Iraqi army, would be an extreme measure. Or the US recognizes the Iraqi gov and keeps in compliance with what they are legally allowed to do. Seems like it'll be the latter.

The other option would be US branding Iraqi gov, Iraqi army and PMU all as enemies.. but that would mean 2003 all over again and they'd have to deploy a far larger force than 5K.

According to AFP it's legit, they checked with the US.
Anyway... Can we assume that the US is completely leaving Iraq? it's a bit... too easy...
As for relocation, is it Outside of Iraqi borders... or does the KRG is a "relocation possible point"?

US might bypass Baghdad and work directly with KRG, Arbil. Of course the Kurds will take this opportunity

It reminds of the strategy that created the vacuum in Syria.

I always believed we should let ISIS take kirkuk and arbil and humalate Iraqi Kurd ....

But what Swpahbod Sileimani did ?! He asked khamenei to send our Artesh to not let this happen ....

This was one of his mistakes ... At least we could save then after ISIS kicked their asses and they publicly cried for help ....

If the U.S. were pulling troops out. It be to Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. Not towards Kurdistan or whatever thats still in Iraq.
