Pentagon concludes Iraq military mission
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) has confirmed the conclusion of the American military mission in Iraq and the departure of coalition forces from Erbil Base. This marks the end of Operation "Hard Focus," which contributed to defeating the terrorist organization ISIS. This step represents a transition from a comprehensive military mission to a security effort led by Iraqi institutions, with continued American support through training and intelligence to help Iraq secure its borders and counter remnants of the organization and Iran-backed militias. An agreement has been reached to maintain security cooperation until September 2026, with plans to expand the bilateral partnership to strengthen Iraq's sovereignty and stability.
