Operation Inherent Resolve Ends Sept 30; US Troop Withdrawal from Iraq Complete

Operation Inherent Resolve concludes on Sept. 30 as remaining U.S. troops in northern Iraq complete withdrawal, ending a coalition effort against ISIL that began in 2014. The drawdown raises questions about Iraq and Syria's future stability and the potential for an ISIL resurgence, though the coalition's success in degrading the group is acknowledged. The full implications for regional security and U.S. force posture remain uncertain.
