US shifts strategy in Iraq
After the completion of the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, the relationship between the two countries has shifted from direct military engagement to a partnership primarily based on intelligence and technology. In recent years, there has been a significant decline in the number of American troops, decreasing from over 170,000 soldiers in 2007 to just a few hundred in 2024, as security responsibilities have gradually been transferred to Iraqi forces. Currently, cooperation relies on modern technological systems such as satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cyber surveillance systems, which enable effective intelligence gathering from outside Iraqi territory. The exchange of information between Iraqi and American agencies continues to enhance the capabilities of Iraqi security and intelligence forces. This transition emphasizes the use of tools that are less dependent on ground forces, aiming to support and empower Iraqi forces to independently confront security threats.
