The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a US daily newspaper, reported, in an interview, it published yesterday, that the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, supported the presence of American forces in his country, and did not set a timetable for their withdrawal.

According to the newspaper, Al-Sudani stressed that the need for foreign forces still exists and that the elimination of the terrorist organization "ISIS" requires more time.

The Iraqi Premier referred to the teams of US forces and NATO forces that train and assist Iraqi units in combating the militants of the organization, but they remain untouched. Very much actual combat.

The commander of the US Central Command, General Eric Korella, said in a report by the US Central Command that dealt with the details of the operations led by Washington to combat ISIS in Syria and Iraq, that there is an "ISIS army" in the exact sense being held in Syria and Iraq and the risks of its disastrous escape.

He pointed out that about 10,000 ISIS leaders and members are in detention facilities throughout Syria, and about 20,000 are in Iraq.
