The official added that “US forces will vacate remaining positions in the Kurdistan Region, and military equipment-including air defense systems-will be withdrawn,” noting that “the counter-terrorism base in Erbil has lost its strategic importance due to the diminished threat posed by ISIS.”

The official further stated that “Washington and Baghdad may negotiate a new bilateral security cooperation agreement following the completion of the withdrawal.”
