—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The United States has already withdrawn several Patriot batteries from Erbil, and will withdraw all of its remaining military forces from Iraqi Kurdistan by September 30th, 2026
The move comes after repeated Iranian drone and missile attacks against U.S. targets in the area, which have become increasingly difficult to defend against.
It would mark Iraq’s first time without an American military presence since 2003, after more than 23 years of occupation. – Al Monitor

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The last 5 remaining Patriot systems have been withdrawn from Erbil Airport
Iraqi Kurdistan is now left at the mercy of Iranian missiles and drones for the first time ever, with no anti-ballistic missile systems to intercept them.

They’ve accomplished in a single year what the anti-war movement in the imperial core couldn’t in two decades. May the people of Iraq never suffer another American dog on their sovereign soil.
Amen
They could have left those missile batteries and they would have still been at the mercy of Iranian missiles.
