Italy concludes Iraq military mission
The Italian Ministry of Defense concluded, on Tuesday, the withdrawal of its forces from Iraq after a 12-year presence. Most of its personnel had been withdrawn by March 2026, following an aerial attack on a base in Kurdistan. Italian troops participated in the American "Resolute Support" operation against ISIS and in a non-combat capacity mission led by NATO for capacity building. They agreed with local authorities to leave the area by September 30, marking a shift towards Iraq taking greater responsibility for its security, with two Italian officers remaining as part of the European Union advisory mission.
