- US military will be out of Iraq by end of September, Iraqi prime minister and Pentagon say
The U.S. military will withdraw from Iraq by September 30, as confirmed by Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and the Pentagon. The decision follows a 2024 agreement to end operations against the Islamic State group, with U.S. forces shifting combat responsibilities to Iraqi troops. Remaining American troops will focus on training and advisory roles.
