US forces exit Iraq after two decades, opening door for Iran
Original: US forces exit Iraq after two decades, leaving opening for Iran
US forces have completed their withdrawal from Iraq, ending a military presence of roughly two decades that began with the 2003 invasion. Observers warn the departure leaves a power vacuum that Tehran is well placed to fill, given its influence over Iraqi political factions and armed groups. The withdrawal marks a major shift in the region's balance of power and raises questions about Iraq's future stability.
Why now: The end of a twenty-year US military presence and the prospect of expanded Iranian influence are reshaping Middle East geopolitics.
