US and Iraq agree on plan to withdraw US troops: Report

Hundreds of US soldiers would be pulled out of Iraq in September 2025 and the remaining would depart by the end of 2026.

US and Iraqi negotiators have agreed on a plan to withdraw American soldiers from Iraq after US troops came under repeated attack by Iranian proxies. According to Reuters, the agreement still needs “a final go-ahead” from leaders in Baghdad and Washington, but is seen as a done deal, with one US official telling the news agency that “it's now just a question of when to announce it”. The deal would see hundreds of US soldiers pulled out of Iraq in September 2025 and the last remaining US troops in the country departing by the end of 2026. Critics of the US’s “forever wars" are likely to welcome an agreement, but it could raise concerns among US policymakers and allies in the region who are focused on Iran’s influence. Formal talks on the status of the roughly 2,500 US troops in Iraq began in January but were delayed amid tensions over Israel’s war on Gaza.
