US forces are pulling out of their remaining bases in Iraq on Wednesday, completing a departure agreed under President Joe Biden and executed by the Trump administration. Iraqi officials warn the exit could create a dangerous security vacuum that emboldens Iran-backed militias and allows Islamic State sleeper cells to regroup.
A Historic Exit After Two Decades of Conflict
The withdrawal marks the end of a 23-year US military presence in Iraq, beginning with the 2003 invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. US troops returned in 2014 to help defeat Islamic State in a major campaign from 2014 to 2017, before a final pullout was negotiated in 2024.
The conflict has exacted a heavy toll: 4,500 American service members died in more than 20 years of war. In this year's conflict with Iran, seven of the 18 US personnel listed as killed were in Iraq, including an army sergeant who died during a drone detonation near Erbil in July.
Iran Celebrates Victory; Iraqis Worry About Security
Tehran has hailed the departure as a triumph for its 'axis of resistance,' though analysts caution that the real danger lies in Iran's proxies feeling empowered without a Western military presence. These groups may attempt to expand their role in shaping state policies and consolidating their presence within key institutions.
Despite broad Iraqi public support for the withdrawal, security officials in both the federal government and the Kurdish region warn that US-trained forces may still be unable to protect the country. The departure comes as Iraq lacks sufficient air defence capabilities to counter potential threats from resurgent militant groups.
The Critical Question: Is There a Plan B?
Retired Iraqi Army General Mohammed al-Jubouri, who led a brigade against Islamic State, says the most important question is whether Iraq's security institutions have prepared a viable Plan B for the post-coalition phase. One worst-case scenario involves Islamic State obtaining armed drones at a time when Iraq cannot effectively counter such threats.
Jassim al-Bahadli, an Iraqi analyst who advises the security forces, warns that security vacuums can be extremely dangerous. Ahmed Younis, a Baghdad-based political analyst, adds that Iran's proxies may attempt to expand their role in shaping state policies and consolidating their presence within key institutions.
