The U.S. military has finalized the withdrawal of its forces from Iraq, concluding a decade-long operation aimed at countering the Islamic State group. The move marks the end of a prolonged deployment following years of combat and stabilization efforts in the region. Withdrawal operations were conducted in coordination with Iraqi authorities to ensure a smooth transition. The decision reflects shifting strategic priorities as the U.S. refocuses its presence in the Middle East.
The US military announced on Wednesday that it has completed the withdrawal of its troops from Iraq, ending a 12-year mission to fight the Islamic State group.
