An unnamed Israeli source told Breaking Defense website that the United States is setting up three military bases in the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG). Contrary to US President Donald Trump’s statement, the source said the US is currently building at least three military bases in the KRG near the border with Iran, according to the Rudaw television channel.
The report also quoted an Israeli source as saying NATO and most of its members had agreed to increase the number of their military advisers in Iraq.
