The U.S. announced an agreement with Iraq to end the American-led coalition’s military mission against ISIS by next year, with U.S. troops leaving some long-occupied bases. The Biden administration did not specify how many of the 2,500 troops will remain or confirm a full withdrawal. Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh mentioned changes in the U.S. footprint without details. The announcement comes amid escalating Middle East tensions and increased attacks on U.S. bases by Iran-backed militias. Iraqi officials have long called for coalition withdrawal, leading to formal talks.
