Baghdad reaffirms US troop withdrawal by September
According to Iraqi sources, Baghdad is committed to the September 30, 2026, deadline for ending the military presence of the International Coalition in Iraq. The Iraqi Ministry of Defense previously announced that the withdrawal plan from military operations against ISIS began in September 2025 and is expected to be completed by September 2026. Reports indicate that the United States and its partners intend to reduce military missions and transition to a bilateral security framework with the Iraqi government, rather than complete withdrawal, in order to maintain security cooperation, ongoing coordination, information exchange, and the pursuit of ISIS. No formal announcement has been made regarding any changes to the agreement, but questions remain about whether the military mission will be fully concluded or transformed into a limited presence within a bilateral relationship. This will depend on the outcomes of negotiations between Baghdad and Washington in the coming weeks.
