“The presence of any military forces on Iraqi soil requires parliamentary authorization, and we reject the presence of any combat force on the ground,” the spokesman of Asaeb Ahl al-Haq movement Naim al-Aboudi told the RT Channel.

He added that “the presence of these forces is a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty, and Iraq does not need any force, it has an army, police and the popular crowd forces.
