US exit from Iraq compared to Afghanistan
The U.S. military has announced the completion of its full withdrawal from Iraq, after more than two decades of military intervention, compared to the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Although the withdrawal from Iraq was more organized, it has left an security vacuum and concerns about the return of extremist groups, especially ISIS. Analysts have pointed out that the decision to withdraw was a response to electoral promises and cost reduction, but it also reflects an American strategic interest in maintaining its regional presence in the face of Iran’s influence. Observers consider Iraq still a key axis of regional balance, and that the United States might re-engage if security and political conditions call for it.
