Iraqi members of Parliament passed a resolution calling for foreign troops to leave the country after the United States killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani last week in Baghdad.
The MPs called for a ban on foreign forces using Iraqi land, water, and airspace for any reason, the BBC reported. The move is designed to expel American forces after a U.S. drone strike killed Soleimani, who was head of the Quds Force. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the killing was designed to prevent a war, rather than to promote regime change in Iran.
