U.S. Troops Resume Iraq Operations Despite Parliament's Expulsion Order
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon says U.S. troops have resumed joint operations with Iraqi
soldiers, ending a 10-day pause that came after President Trump ordered
the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. He was killed
near Baghdad International Airport in a drone strike on January 3. This
comes less than two weeks after the Iraqi parliament ordered all U.S.
troops to leave Iraq.
