US reinforcements for Harir base: 1,000 soldiers on their way to Erbil

A local source in Anbar province reported on Tuesday that US forces intend to reinforce their military presence in northern Iraq by deploying more than 1,000 troops to both Harir Air Base and the US Consulate in Erbil.

The source told Al-Maalomah that “initial contingents of troops have arrived by air at Harir Air Base, with additional reinforcements expected in the coming period, with the aim of securing US facilities in Erbil.” He added that these movements coincide with escalating regional tensions, amid stalled negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear issue.
He noted that “US forces had previously reduced some of their presence at the base before sending new reinforcements, without any official confirmation so far from the US Department of Defense or Iraqi government authorities.

It is worth noting that Harir Air Base is one of the locations where international coalition forces are stationed and witnesses occasional military movements related to security developments in the region.
