Iran has demanded a US military withdrawal from all the countries surrounding it, as well as an end to war across all regional fronts

Snip:

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement on 1 October hailing the US withdrawal from Iraq as a “historic victory” and a “prelude” to the expulsion of Washington’s forces from the entire region.

In its statement, the IRGC paid tribute to all those killed while resisting the years-long US invasion and occupation of Iraq, including General Qassem Soleimani – who backed and took part in military operations against Washington’s invading troops throughout the war.

“The departure of US forces is the result of the Iraqi people’s perseverance in defending their independence,” the IRGC said, calling the pullout “a major achievement for the Resistance Front.”

It also congratulated “the Iraqi people and resistance on a historic victory.”
