US military withdraws from Iraq more than two decades after invasion

Original: The U.S. military withdraws from Iraq over 2 decades after its invasion

The United States has withdrawn its military from Iraq, more than two decades after the 2003 invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. The drawdown closes a long and costly chapter of the US presence in the country, and commentators are weighing what the departure means for regional stability, Iraq's sovereignty, and Washington's broader role in the Middle East.

Why now: The end of a more than twenty-year US military presence in Iraq is a major geopolitical milestone drawing wide attention.
