US Completes Full Military Withdrawal from Iraq, Ending Combat Mission
The United States has formally completed its full military withdrawal from Iraq, ending a 23-year presence and concluding the US-led coalition's combat mission against ISIS. 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.
