Pentagon ends U.S. missions in Iraq
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced that the United States and its coalition partners have officially concluded Operation "Hard Resolve" in Iraq, following an organized withdrawal of coalition forces from Erbil Air Base. This withdrawal comes after the defeat of the terrorist organization "ISIS" in Iraq, with Iraqi security forces taking over the responsibility of safeguarding the country and pursuing remnants of the organization. Although military missions have ended, Washington will continue to provide training and intelligence support to Iraq, as Baghdad’s relationships with participating countries transition from an international mission framework to bilateral security partnerships. The coalition forces have been in Iraq for approximately 12 years since their initial deployment in 2014 to combat ISIS, gradually withdrawing after the threat was mitigated.
