Coalition Departs Iraq Risks Security
With the conclusion of the international coalition led by the United States' mission in Iraq on September 30, 2026, Iraq faces critical security challenges related to the capability of its national forces to maintain control. These challenges are especially pronounced amid ongoing activities by ISIS cells, missile and drone threats, and the issue of arms outside state institutions. Although Iraq has made progress in counter-terrorism efforts and in developing its defensive capabilities, concerns are mounting over a security vacuum following the withdrawal. This is compounded by uncontrolled arms and delays in implementing arms regulation plans, which pose risks of escalation or future attacks in the region and other areas. The country is entering a delicate transitional phase that requires high readiness to ensure stability.
