伊拉克空军司令哈立德·塔米米周一表示，自2026年初以来，国际联军尚未在伊拉克境内执行任何任务，并强调其部队是“独立”运作的。“从2026年初至今，没有任何联军力量在伊拉克境内执行过任何任务，”塔米米在接受伊拉克通讯社采访时说道；此次联军在伊拉克的任务原定于9月30日结束。
International coalition forces have not carried out any missions inside Iraq since the beginning of 2026, Iraqi Air Force Commander Khalid al-Tamimi said Monday, stressing that his force is operating “independently.” “No force from the coalition has carried out any duty inside Iraqi territory from the beginning of 2026 until now,” Tamimi said in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency, two days before the coalition’s mission in Iraq is scheduled to end on Sept. 30.
他补充说：“目前空军执行的所有任务都独立于联军进行，也没有得到联军的任何直接支持。”
“All missions currently carried out by the Air Force are independent of coalition forces, and there is no direct support from them,” he added.
塔米米还表示，伊拉克空军正在努力建立一个包括各种车间、设施和仓库在内的综合系统，并指出伊拉克F-16战斗机的维护工作“100%由伊拉克人员负责”。虽然某些发动机维修工作仍需要委托给总部位于美国的普拉特·惠特尼（Pratt & Whitney）航空航天公司，但伊拉克维修人员也在本地承担了部分维修工作。
Tamimi said the Iraqi Air Force is working to build an integrated system of workshops, facilities and warehouses, noting that maintenance of Iraq’s F-16 fighter jets is being carried out “100% by Iraqi personnel.” He said some levels of engine repair still require referral to Pratt & Whitney, a US-based aerospace manufacturer, while Iraqi crews handle part of the repair work locally.
关于战机采购问题，塔米米表示，部署在约旦的Rafale战斗机每月都会与伊拉克空军进行联合演习；原定于今年在法国举行的演习因该地区的战争而被迫推迟。
Tamimi also said negotiations are advancing over the acquisition of Rafale fighter jets, adding that “the first batch under negotiation is for 14 aircraft,” without identifying the party involved in the talks. On training cooperation, he said Rafale aircraft based in Jordan take part in monthly exercises with the Iraqi Air Force, while a drill scheduled to be held in France this year was postponed because of the war in the region.
塔米米还提到，伊拉克的防空系统能够覆盖全国范围，配备空对空导弹的战斗机及飞行员始终处于待命状态。“我们每天都会对整个伊拉克地区进行全面的空中巡逻，并将相关报告通过陆军参谋长办公室提交给武装部队总司令。”他还表示，伊拉克正在努力发展本土的制造业能力，并提议设立专门的无人机指挥机构，不过相关工作仍处于初期阶段。
Tamimi said Iraq’s air defenses provide radar coverage across the country, while fighter jets armed with air-to-air missiles and pilots remain on daily standby. “We conduct a full daily aerial scan of all Iraq,” he said, adding that reports are submitted to the office of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces through the army chief of staff.
谈到安全威胁时，他表示潜伏的恐怖分子仍然存在于偏远且地形复杂的地区，但认为当前的威胁“非常有限”，这得益于公众的警惕性以及伊拉克军队的作战能力。
There are efforts to develop local manufacturing capabilities and a proposal to establish a separate command for drones, although work in this field remains at an early stage, the Iraqi commander added.
他还提到，在打击 ISIS/Daesh 恐怖组织的战争中，伊拉克空军共执行了 58,822 次任务，包括运输、侦察等行动，同时还为地面部队提供支援，并对恐怖组织的据点进行了打击。
Turning to security threats, he said sleeper cells remain in remote and rugged areas but described the current threat as “very limited,” citing public vigilance and the capabilities available to Iraqi forces. He said the Iraqi Air Force carried out 58,822 missions during the war against ISIS/Daesh terror group, including transport, reconnaissance and other operations, as well as supporting ground forces and striking the group’s positions.
此外，塔米米透露，一架安东诺夫运输机在巴格达的一个基地遭到导弹袭击后被迫停飞，但他没有具体说明事件发生的时间或责任方。
Separately, Tamimi disclosed that an Antonov transport aircraft was taken out of service after being struck by a missile at a base in Baghdad, without specifying when the incident happened or who was responsible.
2024 年 9 月，巴格达和华盛顿达成协议，决定结束由美国领导的国际联军在伊拉克的军事行动，并转向建立双边安全合作关系，以支持伊拉克军队并持续对 ISIS 施加压力，防止其卷土重来。
Baghdad and Washington agreed in September 2024 to end the military mission of the US-led international coalition in Iraq and transition toward bilateral security partnerships aimed at supporting Iraqi forces and maintaining pressure on ISIS to prevent its resurgence.
该国际联军成立于 2014 年 9 月，旨在打击 ISIS 并在伊拉克境内协助伊拉克军队作战。随着 ISIS 在 2017 年在伊拉克境内战败，联军的任务重点逐渐转向为伊拉克提供咨询、援助，并加强其安全能力。
The US-led coalition was formed in September 2014 to fight ISIS and supported Iraqi forces during the campaign against the terrorist group. After its territorial defeat in Iraq in 2017, the coalition’s role shifted largely toward advising, assisting and strengthening Iraqi security capabilities.
