Iraqi government spokesman: We oppose the extension of the presence of foreign troops
"Haider al-Aboudi," the Iraqi government spokesman, announced that the country's government has opposed any proposal to extend the presence of foreign troops on Iraqi soil and emphasized that the presence of foreign forces will not be extended, even in the capacity of advisors.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: According to Mehr News Agency, al-Aboudi stated that proposals had been made to extend the presence of foreign troops in Iraq, but the government has opposed these proposals and the date for the withdrawal and withdrawal of the so-called international (American) coalition forces from Iraq has been set for September 30 (Wednesday, 8th of Miran 1405).

Emphasis on national sovereignty and the end of the occupation
This stance comes at a time when the Iraqi Prime Minister has been emphasizing the need to end the presence of foreign troops for months. According to Iraqi officials, September 30, 2026, has been set as the deadline for the withdrawal of international coalition forces from the country, after which Iraq will begin a new period of complete sovereignty over its territory.

The Iraqi Prime Minister also emphasized this issue in a meeting with the CENTCOM commander and announced that from October 1 (9 Mizan 1405), his country will be completely free from the presence of foreign troops and will have complete sovereignty over its entire territory.

According to experts, the Iraqi government's insistence on the withdrawal of foreign troops by the set deadline indicates Baghdad's serious determination to fully regain national sovereignty and end two decades of foreign military presence in the country.

Surveys show that with the reduction of the threat from the ISIS group, Iraqis no longer see the need for the presence of foreign advisors and want to independently manage their own security. Observers say that the Iraqi government's opposition to the extension of the presence of foreign forces is in line with national consensus and the general will of the country's people and can help strengthen Iraq's sovereignty and independence.
