Pentagon confirms US troop withdrawal from Iraq is complete, ending two decades of intervention
Pentagon confirms US troop withdrawal from Iraq is complete, ending two decades of intervention. Defense Department spokesman Sean Parnell stated the remaining US and coalition forces departed from Erbil Airbase on Wednesday, marking the success of a 12-year campaign against ISIL and a transition to Iraqi-led security efforts. US President Donald Trump initially announced the withdrawal in 2020, with the final plan inked in 2024 by former President Joe Biden and former Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. Hundreds of US troops remain stationed in Syria, and the task force overseeing anti-ISIL operations has relocated to Jordan. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi praised the withdrawal as a new era for Iraq.
