Iraq's parliament has passed a resolution calling for all U.S. and other foreign troops to leave the country amid a growing backlash against the U.S. killing of Iran's Qaseem Soleimani
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani told state television the Iraqi parliament’s vote means the U.S. military presence in Iraq is considered an occupation.
One Sunni member of parliament told Reuters both groups feared that kicking out U.S.-led forces would leave Iraq vulnerable to insurgents, undermine security and heighten the power of Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias.

Soleimani masterminded Iran’s clandestine and military operations abroad as head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, creating an arc of Shi’ite power with the help of proxy militias confronting the regional might of the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia. “The intelligence assessment made clear that no action - allowing Soleimani to continue his plotting and his planning, his terror campaign - created more risk than taking the action that we took last week,” he said on ABC’s “This Week” show.
