Iraq's Iranian-backed militias offer ceasefire if US troops leave
Original: Iraq's Iranian-backed militias say it'll cease attacks once U.S. military withdraws
Iraq's Iranian-backed militia groups say they will stop their attacks on American forces once the US military withdraws from the country. The declaration ties an end to the recurring strikes on US personnel and assets in Iraq to a set timetable for American troops to go home. It adds pressure to ongoing talks in Baghdad and Washington over the future of the US-led coalition mission against the Islamic State.
Why now: It signals a potential path to ending months of attacks on US forces in Iraq, hinging on a troop withdrawal deal.
