Baghdad: Members of Parliament have submitted a formal request, backed by parliamentary signatures, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The request seeks to include a vote in the next regular session to revoke the ratification of the 2008 Status of Forces Agreement and the Strategic Framework Agreement between Iraq and the United States. The proposal also calls for the complete and immediate evacuation of all American-occupied bases, citing a lack of necessity and a need to respect Iraq’s sovereignty.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the parliamentary request emphasizes the urgency of addressing these agreements. The members argue that the continued presence of American bases is no longer required, reflecting a growing sentiment within Iraq to reassess its foreign military engagements and assert its sovereignty. The upcoming vote could mark a significant shift in Iraq’s foreign policy and its relationship with the United States.
