Iran Announces Receiving Response from US as US Withdraws from Iraq
Iran reported receiving a response from the US regarding a Gulf ceasefire proposal, while Washington completely withdrew its troops from Iraq.
Iran announced that it received a response from Washington to its latest proposal to revive the collapsed ceasefire, while the US military ended its military presence in neighboring Iraq after twenty-three years.
Ceasefire Proposal and Response from the US
Iran announced on Wednesday that it had received a response from the US to its recent proposal aimed at restoring the ceasefire in the Gulf.
Following indirect talks held in New York mediated by Qatar, it was stated that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi conveyed the US response to the Iranian government.
Military Withdrawal Process from Iraq
US and Iraqi officials announced in a joint statement on Wednesday that the final American troops stationed at bases in Iraq have also left the country.
This step by Washington brought an end to a process recorded as one of the largest military operations of the century, in which 4,500 US soldiers lost their lives.
Regional Reflections and Assessments
The Tehran administration and its allies celebrated the complete US withdrawal from Iraq, evaluating it as a significant victory for the regional axis of resistance.
Analysts, however, warn that with the disappearance of the Western military presence, Iran-backed militia forces could become even more emboldened in the region.
