Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have described the IRGC US withdrawal from Iraq as a “historic victory,” welcoming the departure of American forces from the country. The group also called for US troops to leave the wider Middle East.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued its reaction through a statement carried by Iranian state-linked official media. The statement framed the withdrawal as a significant development for Iraq and regional resistance groups.
The IRGC congratulated the Iraqi people and what it described as the united front of the Islamic Resistance. It also praised fighters across the Islamic world following the US military withdrawal.
The IRGC US withdrawal from Iraq statement reflects Tehran’s longstanding opposition to the presence of American forces in the Middle East. Iran has repeatedly called for an end to US military deployments in the region.
The Revolutionary Guards said the withdrawal represented an important achievement for those who have opposed the presence of foreign forces in Iraq. It presented the development as a victory for groups aligned with its regional position.
The statement also extended congratulations to what the IRGC called the “proud nation” of Iraq. However, the remarks represent the position of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and should be viewed in that political context.
The IRGC US withdrawal from Iraq reaction comes as Tehran continues to demand a broader reduction of American military presence across the Middle East. The Guards said US forces should leave the region, extending its call beyond Iraq.
