US forces have begun to evacuate logistics support centres from Harir base in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, Iran’s Fars news agency reports, citing the Iraqi Al-Maalomah news agency.

Sources tell Al-Maalomah that “the technical and engineering teams of the US forces stationed at Harir Air Base near Erbil have begun evacuating logistical support centres, especially the large complex located in the eastern section.

“Evacuating these centres represents the penultimate stage in the withdrawal from this base, which will be free of any US presence by the end of September,” they add.
