US Forces Complete Withdrawal From Iraq After Two Decades

United States forces are scheduled to complete their withdrawal from their final bases in Iraq by Wednesday, ending over twenty years of military presence.

Agreed in 2024 under the Biden administration and executed under Donald Trump, the exit has raised security concerns among Iraqi experts regarding potential power vacuums.

While regional actors like Iran and allied militia groups hail the departure as a historic resistance victory, local Sunni leaders express fears over readiness.
