January 25, 2026

The Iraqi government on January 18 announced the US-led international allied forces completely withdrew from military bases in the country.

Especially, the US forces entirely withdrew from an airbase in Anbar and the base was transferred to the Iraqi army.

The government stressed that the mission of the international allied forces was over in the country.

The US-led international allied forces which were organized under the pretext of annihilating the ISIS, an international terrorist organization, made it their business to carry out air strikes and drone attacks on the Middle Eastern countries to kill numerous civilians and plunder resources. Therefore, they were under international criticism.
