NRKLO·US · IQ·about 13 hours ago
The US formally concluded Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq, ending a 12-year counter-ISIS mission. The move follows a negotiated withdrawal timeline and leaves Iraq's security forces to manage residual ISIS threats. This marks a significant shift in US force posture in the Middle East, though the broader campaign against ISIS in Syria continues.
