US Completes Withdrawal of Troops from Iraq, Ending Two-Decade Military Involvement

President Donald Trump announced that the last American forces have departed Iraq, marking the end of more than two decades of U.S. military involvement in the country. The withdrawal concludes a 12-year mission to combat the Islamic State group and follows an agreement made two years prior. The move has been celebrated by Iran-backed militias but has raised concerns among some Iraqis, particularly in the Kurdish region.
