💬 US expulsion from Iraq paves way to free West Asia from ‘Great Satan’: IRGC 📌 Tehran, IRNA – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has hailed the expulsion of US forces from Iraq as a historic victory for the Iraqi people and a step toward ending foreign domination in West Asia. In a statement issued on Thursday, the IRGC said the departure of US forces was the result of the Iraqi people's determination to preserve their independence, describing it as a major achievement for the resistance movement. ​ It added that two decades of US military presence in Iraq failed to bring security and had instead contributed to instability and insecurity in the region. ​ The statement described the expulsion of US forces as a heavy defeat for Washington, saying the United States gained nothing from its two-decade presence in the Arab country despite the deaths of about 5,000 US troops, by its own admission, and spending $4 trillion. ​ The IRGC also described the withdrawal as a first step toward the eventual departure of US forces from West Asia, saying the United States must leave the region and allow regional nations to manage their own security. ​ It also pledged to continue to stand alongside the peoples of the region until West Asia is cleared of US and Israeli forces and the "full liberation of al-Quds" is achieved. 📲 ​
