WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. will try to negotiate a deal allowing Turkish peacekeepers to be deployed in western Iraq, far from Iraqi Kurds in the north, a U.S. military official tells CNN.

The move, as requested by the United States, could lead to the first contingent of Muslim peacekeepers being sent to Iraq.

However, the official cautioned it is not clear that Turkey will ever send the troops, which were approved by the Turkish parliament Tuesday.

Any such deployment was immediately condemned by Iraq's Governing Council, worried Turkish troops will set up a base of operations in northern Iraq to oppose Iraqi Kurds there.
