Media in the US: The Iraqi government announced that the US military has completely withdrawn from military facilities within its federal territory, excluding the Kurdistan Region.
The Iraqi Ministry of Defense stated that the last batch of American advisors had left the Al-Asad Airbase in Anbar Province, which had been home to US troops for more than twenty years. Since the Iraqi government requested the withdrawal of US forces in 2023, the US gradually reduced its troop presence.
Currently, US forces are only stationed at the Halabja Air Base in the Erbil Province of the Kurdish Region. The US Central Command confirmed the authenticity of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense's statement on the withdrawal of troops. This withdrawal comes amid tense relations between the United States and Iran, as the US considers whether to take military action against Iran.
