Washington to withdraw support for key Middle East ally
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to cease military support provided to the Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as the current memorandum of understanding expires on September 30 and U.S. forces are withdrawn from Iraq. This move could weaken the longstanding partnership and increase security risks, especially amid escalating Iranian attacks on the region. Despite the success in defeating ISIS, the decision to halt aid raises concerns about a deterioration of security and a rise in Iran's influence, as the U.S. administration tends toward intensifying negotiations to establish a new security agreement with Iraq.
