US forces are completing their withdrawal from Iraq after two decades, a departure that strengthens Iran's influence and that of its allies in the region.
United States forces concluded their two-decade military presence in Iraq, withdrawing from their final bases. This departure marks a significant shift in the region's geopolitical landscape, with Iran and its allied militias poised to exert greater influence. The withdrawal follows years of counter-insurgency operations against groups like the Islamic State.
The American exit leaves a vacuum that Iran is expected to fill, potentially altering regional power dynamics. The move is seen by Tehran and its partners as a strategic victory, consolidating their sway in Iraq after years of U.S. military engagement.
