The United States has agreed to withdraw hundreds of American troops from Iraq by September 2025, according to a recent Reuters report.
On Friday, Reuters reported, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, that the U.S. and Iraq have reached a broad agreement on plans to withdraw American-led coalition forces from the Middle Eastern country.
Under the deal, which still requires a final confirmation from both countries, hundreds of U.S. troops would leave Iraq by September 2025 and the remainder of service members would leave by the end of 2026, according to Reuters’ sources.
“We have an agreement, its now just a question of when to announce it,” a senior U.S. official told Reuters.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
