According to the draft law, members of the US House of Representatives and the Senate believe that the Peshmerga forces play a significant role in the coalition campaign against the US-led coalition in Iraq, so it is important to continue to provide assistance to the Peshmerga in support of the Iraqi government; And to protect the security of the region more effectively by coalition forces and Iraqi forces. "

The Peshmerga was not mentioned in the first draft of the bill, which was published in February, but was added to the bill and allocated $ 290 million of the $ 850 million allocated to the Iraqi army.
