Italy Withdraws Its Troops From Iraq

Italy is withdrawing its troops from Iraqi Kurdistan, which is under attack by Iranian forces.

According to an Italian official, Italy has been gradually withdrawing its forces from the Singara camp in Erbil since the start of the war, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Earlier, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that Italy has no intention of joining the war.

Of the more than 300 troops who were stationed there before the war began, about 100 have returned to Italy, and approximately 70 are in Jordan, the official noted.

About 140 Italian troops remain in Erbil.

Before the fighting began, Italian troops were training Kurdish security forces.

On March 12, Iran launched a missile strike on the Italian military base in Erbil.
