The National: Coronavirus: US-led coalition forces in Iraq reposition amid pandemic and Iran threat

To prevent potential spread of Covid-19, the Iraqi Security Forces have suspended all training

The US-led coalition forces in Iraq have repositioned, following an increase in attacks on their air bases in the country this year and the rapid spread of the coronavirus.
