US military mission in Iraq concludes
Iraq and the United States officially concluded the mission of the international coalition against ISIS in the country, with the withdrawal of American forces coming to an end. This followed an agreement signed in September 2024, which stipulates a transition from direct military support to bilateral security relations focused on training cooperation, information exchange, and capacity building. Iraqi officials emphasized that the end of the military mission does not signal the end of the partnership but rather a shift of security leadership to Iraqi efforts, while continued collaboration across various fields aims to enhance sovereignty and stability. Experts noted that this step marks the end of more than two decades of U.S. military presence in Iraq, which began after the 2003 invasion.
