Iraq’s Hashd Shaabi (Popular Mobilization forces) on Sunday called on the Iraqi government to ban US nationals from entering Iraq and to expel those who are already in the country, in a reaction to the new US travel curbs on Iraqis.

Hashd Shaabi is a strong mobilization of popular forces in Iraq to fight ISIL terrorists who entered their country and spread chaos and terrorism in some Iraqi cities. It became an Iraqi government-approved body last year.

The call to ban US nationals came in a statement published by its spokesman, Ahmed al-Assadi.
