US Forces Complete Withdrawal From Iraq

Original: US Forces Exit Iraq

The United States has withdrawn its forces from Iraq after more than two decades of military presence that began with the 2003 invasion. Reuters reports the exit leaves a strategic opening that Iran may look to fill, raising concerns about Tehran's influence over Baghdad and the broader balance of power in the Middle East. Observers are debating what the departure means for regional stability and Iraq's future security.

Why now: The end of a two-decade US military presence is a major geopolitical shift with implications for Iranian influence in the region.
