U.S. Troops Exit Iraq, Ending 12-Year Anti-ISIS Mission Amid Regional Tensions

The U.S. concluded its 12-year military mission in Iraq on September 30, 2026, withdrawing the last troops assigned to fight ISIS. While Washington and Baghdad framed the exit as a victory for Iraqi sovereignty and the defeat of the caliphate, Kurdish officials expressed alarm over the lack of air defense replacements. The withdrawal occurs amid ongoing Iranian missile strikes on Kurdish territory and celebrations by Iran-backed militias, raising concerns about a security vacuum and potential ISIS resurgence.

"Iraq Demands Apology from Turkey for Sulaymaniyah Airport Attack"

Iraq has demanded an apology from Turkey over an attack on an airport in the country's northern Kurdish region. A US official confirmed that the attack was on a convoy with US military personnel in the area but said there were no casualties. Turkey has conducted several military operations including air raids in northern Iraq and northern Syria against Kurdish-led forces there. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is backed by the United States, said in a statement on Saturday that its leader, Mazloum Abdi, was at the Sulaimaniyah airport at the time of the attack but "no harm was done".
