U.S. Forces Depart Iraq Amid Fears
The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq marks the end of a chapter that lasted more than 23 years of military presence there. This withdrawal comes after spending over $1.7 trillion on operations and the closure of the last major U.S.-based military base. Despite the majority of Iraqis supporting this decision, the withdrawal is accompanied by concerns of an security vacuum that could strengthen the influence of Iran-backed militias, threaten the country's stability, and lead to the resurgence of ISIS. This is especially worrying amidst the escalation of Iranian attacks on American interests in Iraq and increasing Iranian support for armed militias.
