议会应该是通过了提案
要请外国军队离开
Iraq's parliament has passed a resolution calling on the government to expel
foreign troops from the country as Iran-US tensions escalate following the
killing of a top Iranian military commander and Iraqi armed group leader in a
US strike in Baghdad.
In an extraordinary parliamentary session on Sunday, parliament called on the
government to end all foreign troop presence in Iraq and to cancel its
request for assistance from the US-led coalition which had been working with
Baghdad to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
"The government commits to revoke its request for assistance from the
international coalition fighting Islamic State due to the end of military
operations in Iraq and the achievement of victory," the resolution read.
"The Iraqi government must work to end the presence of any foreign troops on
Iraqi soil and prohibit them from using its land, airspace or water for any
reason."
