US completes full military withdrawal from Iraq, ending 20-year presence

The United States has fully withdrawn its military forces from Iraq, concluding a two-decade presence and ending Operation Inherent Resolve, the coalition mission against ISIS, per a 2024 agreement. The move leaves Iraq's security in the hands of its own forces and raises questions about the future of counter-ISIS operations and regional power dynamics. The withdrawal marks a significant shift in US Middle East posture, though its immediate impact on stability is uncertain.

This transition shifts security responsibility entirely to Iraqi forces and moves US-Iraq defense cooperation to a bilateral advisory role. The withdrawal's completeness is confirmed, though the long-term security implications and regional power shifts remain uncertain.
