U.S., Iraq Settle on ‘Late 2026’ Deadline for Full Troop Withdrawal: Report

Washington has repeatedly refused to withdraw its forces from Iraq despite a January 2020 parliamentary vote that called for the expulsion of all foreign occupation troops

The governments of Iraq and the US have agreed on a timetable for the withdrawal of US and “international coalition” troops from the war-ravaged country, according to informed sources who spoke with Reuters.

“The plan, which has been broadly agreed but requires a final go-ahead from both capitals and an announcement date, would see hundreds of troops leave by September 2025, with the remainder departing by the end of 2026,” the British news outlet reports.
