Joint operations between the United States and Iraq are returning to normal after a brief disruption following the coalition drone strike that killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in early January, a senior US administration official told reporters, APA reports quoting Sputnik.
"I’m not fully aware, although I was briefed today, whether it’s today or tomorrow - we will probably be moving into the full gamut of joint training, joint operations, and other things," the official said on Friday when asked if the killing of Soleimani had any impact on US operation on the ground in Iraq. "So we’re returning pretty quickly to normal."
The official added that Soleimani's death has helped the coalition's mission in Iraq and Syria. He said Soleimani was a "genius" at disrupting the coalition's operations and had vast influence throughout the Middle East.
