The US-led coalition is set to withdraw from Iraq's Kurdistan region by September 30, as per an agreement between Baghdad and Washington to wind down the coalition mission. This move follows numerous military base handovers to Iraqi forces over the past year and signifies a significant step in Iraq's transition towards bilateral security arrangements with the United States.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi highlighted this development at the United Nations General Assembly, stating that the end of the international coalition's mission will shift Iraq's relationship with its strategic partners from military cooperation to economic and development cooperation. Zaidi also called on all nations to strengthen border controls, address gaps, and remain vigilant against conditions that fuel extremism.
