Esper was vague, though, when asked if the Pentagon had secured approval from the Iraqi government. “I’ve talked to the minister of defense from Iraq. And I will be having conversations, I’m sure, going forward. And we will nail down all the particulars,” he said.
It appears those particulars did not get nailed down, because the Iraqi military on Tuesday stated that the U.S. forces that had crossed into the country after withdrawing from Syria do not have permission to stay in Iraq, and can only be there in transit. “All U.S. forces that withdrew from Syria received approval to enter the Kurdistan Region so that they may be transported outside Iraq. There is no permission granted for these forces to stay inside Iraq,” the statement read. that the Defense Department is drawing up contingency plans to quickly withdraw troops from Afghanistan in the instance that President Trump springs the decision on military leaders.
