US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that he hosted Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi at the Pentagon, Report informs.
"To deepen our partnership, Iraq must assert its sovereignty and disarm the Iran-aligned militias responsible for 600+ attacks on US personnel this spring.
The US is also looking to the Iraqi Security Forces, including the Peshmerga and other Iraqi Kurdistan Region security forces, to lead in D-ISIS efforts as the OIR military mission winds down.
A secure Iraq opens the door to strong commercial and defense cooperation," Hegseth said in a post on X.
