Washington Ends Iraq Troop Mission
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced that American and coalition forces have completed their withdrawal from Iraq, ending their military mission against the ISIS organization, which was defeated in Iraq in 2017 and in Syria in 2019. The statement indicated that the withdrawal from Erbil Base marks the end of Operation "Decisive Sentinel," while support and training for Iraqi forces will continue, with Iraq taking the lead in efforts to secure the country and pursue remnants of the organization. This comes after an understanding between Baghdad and Washington in 2024 to gradually conclude the coalition's mission, thereby enhancing Iraq's sovereignty and reducing the pretext of arming used by Iran-backed factions.
