Mr. Trump said at the White House: "Last night, the United States had been punished by the world's leading terrorist leader. It's Abu Bakar Bagdad's death. He was the founder and leader of the Islamic State, the most brutal terrorist organization in the world. The United States has been looking for Baghdad for many years, and the arrest or killing of Baghdad has been the number one national security goal of my administration."
It is reported that the current strength of the U.S. military in Iraq is about 7,000 troops, plus the newly withdrawn troops from Syria, full of not more than 10,000, but its potential opponents are not to be underestimated. Iran-backed militias alone have more than 100,000 troops, equipped with advanced weapons, including ballistic missiles, rockets and drones, which pose a relatively serious threat to the United States. The Ross camp, which made the efforts of the United States to launch the war in Iraq, was put into effect.
In fact, at this stage of the situation, we can see that the US military is in a dilemma in Iraq. On the one hand, the United States wants to respond to its ally Israel by maintaining its ability to intervene in the surrounding situation through its military bases in Iraq. On the other hand, the dissatisfaction of the Iraqi people with the US military has begun to turn into a substantive attack. Once the US military continues to develop, the situation of the US military will be even more critical.
For the United States, the US military base in Iraq is very important, especially when the situation in Syria is out of the control of the United States. Iraq's own position can effectively block ties between Iran and Syria, and can also be used as a springboard to re-enter Syria or strike Iran.

The U.S. military has no right to increase the size of the troops in the country and to withdraw its troops from the country for a month, the report said. At the same time, Iraq's militia also warned that, if the U.S. military "-No, no, no, no.", then it would be "forced delivery" by the Iraqi militia, according to the Pentagon, most of the supporters behind the Iraqi militia were Iran, Tehran has provided a large amount of military assistance to the Shia forces in Iraq and built it as a The large agent was armed.
According to previous reports, a tweet by US President Donald Trump on the evening of the 26th attracted speculation and attention from the international media. Trump announced the answer at the White House at about 9: 00 a.m. local time on the 27th (21:00 Beijing time)-Bagdadi, the leader of the extremist group Islamic State (IS), was killed in a raid in Syria, according to CNN. In his speech, Trump even described Bagdadi's death as saying, "he died like a dog, like a coward."
"The United States Special Operations Forces carried out a dangerous and bold night raid. In northwest Syria, it is incredible that American personnel have accomplished their mission with grandeur. " Trump further said, "there were no casualties in the operation. At the same time, many of Bagdadi's companions were killed with him. "
It is reported that the "base of the attack" is the second-largest base in Iraq,27 kilometers north of Baghdad. In June this year, the base had been attacked by unknown rockets. After the attack, the U. S. forces quickly dispatched a large number of troops to search and counter-attack around the base, but no trace of the attackers was found. Military experts are of the view that this is likely to be the revenge of the killing of the extremist armed elements in Baghdad, taking into account that Iraq was the base of the organization and that a large number of armed elements and their sympathizers were still lurking in the country The situation is not optimistic.
According to a report on the British Sky News website on October 29, after the US military sent special forces to behead Bagdadi, the consequences of the incident are constantly highlighted. According to Iraqi military sources, the US military base in northern Baghdad was attacked by rockets of unknown origin, and it is reported that militants have fired at least three heavy rockets at the US base. Two of them fell into the US military base, the damage has not yet been announced, it is worth noting that in order to prevent potential rocket or missile attacks, the US military has previously deployed a large number of anti-missile systems in countries in the Middle East, such as Iraq, but in this attack, it is worth noting that the US military has deployed a large number of anti-missile systems in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries. But the whole process of mute fire, which also reflects the fragility of the US military defense system. Russian military experts pointed out that this is obviously a revenge for Bagdadi, for the US military, this is only the first time, there are bound to be more attacks in the future.
