On Thursday, Iraq said it agreed with the United States to form the Higher Military Commission to discuss the end of the U.S.-led international coalition's mission in Iraq.
Iraq noted that the commission will assess the threat posed by the Islamic State and evaluate the capabilities of Iraqi security forces, in order to formulate a clear timetable for the gradual reduction of international coalition advisors in Iraq and the end of the coalition's military mission.
