Today Iraq’s 37 member cabinet approved the proposed SOFA between the U.S. and Iraq by a 27-1 margin. Nine cabinet members were not present for the vote. Right now it looks like the deal will pass the Iraqi Parliament in its current form. So what exactly changes when the new agreement goes into effect on January 1st? After the jump I’ve listed the sections of the agreement that most jumped out at me as being significant changes and what they mean for the U.S. Italicized sections are directly copied from the SOFA. Two sentence summary at the very end.
