The US has suddenly decided to withdraw all its troops from two Iraqi bases—Ain al-Asad and Victory—Sky News Arabia sources report.

Accordingly, US troops are beginning to transfer their personnel from those bases to Erbil and the neighboring Arab country.

The Americans have informed their Iraqi counterparts that they will accelerate the withdrawal process and will not follow the respective timetable that was set by the framework agreement between the two countries.

The international coalition in Iraq, however, has made it clear that the fight against ISIS is not over, and stated that the coalition's military mission in Iraq will transition to a more traditional bilateral security partnership.
