The United States urges Iran to withdraw troops from Iraq
Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:08 am
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has called on Iran to withdraw its militants and military experts from Iraq.
He stated this on Oct. 22 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Deutsche Welle reports.
According to him, since the war against the "Islamic state" is virtually completed, it is time to send foreign fighters home and give the Iraqis full control over the country.
After being captured by militants of the "Islamic State", about a third of Iraq's territory in 2014, Iran actively participated in the preparation and funding of Iraqi paramilitary forces to fight jihadis.
The United States is worried that Iran can continue to expand its influence in the region.
Tehran, participating in the war in Syria on the side of President Bashar al-Assad, has also significantly strengthened its influence in this country.
Earlier Tillerson also claimed that the United States could conclude a second nuclear deal with Iran.
