BEIRUT (AP) — The latest on U.S.-Iran tensions (all times local):
4:45 p.m.
Iraq’s parliament has voted to expel the U.S. military from the country.
Lawmakers voted Sunday in favor of a resolution that calls for ending foreign military presence in the country. The resolution’s main aim is to get the U.S. to withdraw some 5,000 U.S. troops present in different parts of Iraq.
The vote comes two days after a U.S. airstrike killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani inside Iraq, dramatically increasing regional tensions.
The Iraqi resolution specifically calls for ending an agreement in which Washington sent troops to Iraq more than four years ago to help in the fight against the Islamic State group.
The resolution was backed by most Shiite members of parliament, who hold a majority of seats.
Many Sunni and Kurdish legislators did not show up for the session, apparently because they oppose abolishing the deal.

That’s right. The embassy is in the Green Zone.
Trump should immediately order all US troops out of Iraq and say goodbye and cut off all aid. Let the Iranians have Iraq. If Israel wants action taken, let them invest the lives of their own soldiers.
I was 14 when Iraq kicked off in March of 2003, it’s time we get out. I hate that place so much.
Nonsense.
The war is here.
Because they're the majority of the country and when we introduce "democracy" to tribal people, that's what they do with it.
Sweet! Any tips on how we can get Germany to do the same?
Bring the boys home.
Democracy.
Political theater on their end.
How THEY did they get in control of Iraq’s Parliament??
Obongo.
We should also expel any who are naturalized citizens and their progeny.
islam is a menace to the world and should be destroyed, down to the last screaming child. Every last one of them. Every vestige of it should be turned radioactive for the next 10,000 years.
No U.S. blood for any Muslim/Muslim country ever again. In one hundred years they will still not have evolved.
Graham, Bolton, Liz Cheney and cronies who got so excited about the recent “bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran” actions will not be happy about this... Watch... Graham and Liz will be speaking up any minute against pulling out.
If Trump did leave they’d all be freaking out just like in Syria. They talk out of both sides of their mouths.
May your chains set lightly upon you. See ya!
That’s gratitude for ya.
Parliament votes to leave them alone to kill each other. They have my vote. Trump inherited Iraq and their shia-shiite history of wanting to kill each other. Obama created Libya today which is in the same position and enabled them to kill each other...and he didn’t even need a national security interest or consult with Congress to do it.
72 hours and we can be out of there.
.
Apparently, our embassies are now connected to a last American Out Switch.
The last American flips the Last American Switch by hand or remote control, and the embassy becomes a fire ball like the car where the Salami and his fellow killers went “Bye Bye”!
Trump is not going to do it. I would rather kill the terrorists there than here.
