France is not planning to withdraw its 160 soldiers deployed in Iraq following Iranian missile strikes targeting US-led forces, a French government source told Reuters on Wednesday. A French army spokesman previously said there had been no French military casualties in Iraq from the Iranian strikes. Irans action early on Wednesday was in retaliation for a US drone strike that killed top Iranian commander, Qassem Soleimani, in Baghdad, which has triggered fears of a new Middle East war. Iraq has since called American troops to quit the country. Iranian officials said Tehran did not want a war and its strikes "concluded" its response to Soleimani’s killing. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said all of his countrys troops and diplomatic staff in Iraq are safe after Iran’s attack against the military bases there. Around 300 Australian defense personnel are stationed in Iraq. Morrison said he spoke with President Donald Trump about the situation between the US and Iran on Tuesday during a call about the wildfires raging in Australia. Spain has pulled out some of its troops from Iraq due to security concerns, acting Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said on Wednesday. "Those who were in riskier positions have left for Kuwait," Calvo told state broadcaster RTVE. "There is only a reduced number left there." The decision comes as NATO announced it would move some of its military training personnel out of Iraq amid fears of a regional conflagration.
