US-led coalition begins Iraq withdrawal
The US-led international coalition, which has been stationed in Iraq since 2014 to combat ISIS, has begun to withdraw from northern Iraq as its scheduled mission approaches its end on September 30, 2024, according to an agreement between Baghdad and Washington. The current withdrawal is focused on the Kurdistan Region, where the troops are now limited to Erbil Airport, after having been previously removed from other areas in Iraq and Syria. This withdrawal comes amid a decline in ISIS attacks, but it has sparked disagreements between the Iraqi government and Iran-backed armed factions, who are demanding the continued presence of foreign forces and the transfer of weapons.
