Trump 'Embarrassed'! US Troops Quit Arab Nation After Two Decades, Iran Ally Cheers Exit

The United States is preparing to complete the withdrawal of its remaining forces from Iraq by September 30, ending a military presence that began with the 2003 invasion and later resumed as part of the campaign against ISIS. The drawdown has included troops and equipment moving out of Iraqi Kurdistan, with U.S. forces expected to leave the country by the end of the month. At the same time, Iraq is facing a separate security challenge involving armed groups outside direct state control. The government has pushed for weapons to be brought under state authority, while several powerful Iran-aligned factions have resisted or signalled that they will retain their arms. The overlapping deadlines have placed Iraq's post-withdrawal security arrangements under renewed focus.
