Najaf The religious authority, Jawad Al-Khalisi, said: “The announcement of the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq is a repeated lie. The US forces are present in Iraq and they control the joints of the state.”

Al-Khalisi wrote on his Twitter page: “Everything that is happening in Iraq, including devastation, corruption, destruction, fires, pollution, water cuts, lack of agriculture, and others, is the responsibility of the American occupation, their followers.”
