US Troops Complete Withdrawal from Iraq After 12 Years
The United States military has announced the completion of its troop withdrawal from Iraq, concluding a 12-year presence. The Pentagon confirmed the withdrawal, with the US military stating its mission in Iraq is complete. Concurrently, the US is moving to ease sanctions related to flights between Iran and Iraq, specifically for pilgrim flights to Najaf, allowing these services to resume. Baghdad has reportedly delayed disarming Iran-backed militias until June 2027. Amidst these developments, Iran has urged Iraq to lift a flight ban and has offered to allow nuclear inspectors if sanctions are eased.
