According to the Iraqi authorities, there are almost 30 American military bases containing light and heavy weapons in Iraq, so the presence of American military forces with this high number and heavy weapons is nothing but occupation. .

After the American crime in the assassination of the senior commanders of the resistance, Martyr Sardar Soleimani and Martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, the determination of the nation and the members of the Iraqi parliament to expel the American occupation forces led to a legal resolution in In January 2020, the withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq was announced; According to Mike Pompeo, the former US Secretary of State, the decision reduced the number of American soldiers from 5,000 in 2019 to about 2,500.

During this period, American bases were repeatedly attacked by resistance groups and suffered human and financial losses. During these days, the Americans also killed some commanders of Hashd al-Shaabi and Iraqi resistance forces by attacking the resistance headquarters.
