Arab affairs analyst Abdul Bari Atwan has described the complete withdrawal of US forces from Iraq as a defeat for the United States and a victory for the country\u2019s resistance. He made the remarks in a post on the social media platform X, which was published by the electronic newspaper Rai Al-Youm.<\/p>\n
The US Department of War said on Wednesday, Sept. 30, that American troops had fully withdrawn from Iraq. US President Donald Trump also said the pullout should have happened much earlier.<\/p>\n
In his post, Atwan wrote that Iraq\u2019s resistance had emerged from the first day of the occupation, with the participation of Shiites and Sunnis and with weapons support from Bashar al-Assad\u2019s government. It also received backing from Hezbollah and the late Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.<\/p>\n
He also referred to Saddam Hussein\u2019s five messages several days after the start of the occupation of Iraq, and asked how Israel was trying to involve the United States in issues related to Iran by using its \u201cusual pretexts.\u201d Atwan described these remarks as a \u201ctestimony for history.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
