Iraq to redeploy federal forces along border with Iran and Turkiye

BAGHDAD, 24 November 2022, (TON): Baghdad said Wednesday it planned to redeploy federal guards along its border with Iran and Turkiye, after repeated bombardments from both neighboring countries against opposition groups in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region.
The announcement appeared to respond in particular to Iran, which had publicly urged such a move.
Authorities have decided to “establish a plan to redeploy Iraqi border guards... along the border with Iran and Turkiye,” a statement said, issued after a government security meeting overseen by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani.
The statement added "the initiative will be “in coordination with the government of the Kurdistan region and the peshmerga ministry."
