The U.S-led coalition in Iraq says it is pausing operations in support of Iraqi forces in the fight against Islamic State militants.

The coalition says it’s focus will now be on protecting U.S. personnel and bases in Iraq, and it is suspending training for Iraqi forces.

The coalition’s decision Sunday comes days after a U.S. drone strike killed Iran’s top commander in Baghdad.
