US to withdraw forces from Iraq by September
The United States intends to end its military presence in Iraq by September 30, 2026, completing the gradual withdrawal process that has been underway for years following a shift in the nature of the American mission. Officials indicate that U.S. forces will depart from all locations and bases, including the Kurdistan Region, focusing on transitioning from a combat role to a bilateral security relationship that involves training and military cooperation. This withdrawal comes after U.S. forces have ceased official combat operations against ISIS, amid increasing political pressure within Iraq to end foreign presence, while security collaboration between the two countries continues in a non-combat capacity.
