The Iraqi government has officially designated September 30 as the final deadline for the departure of the US-led military coalition. This announcement marks a definitive end-point for the international presence that has operated in the country for years. While the Iraqi government has framed this date as a non-negotiable conclusion to the coalition's mission, the United States has acknowledged the timeline as well.

A US official confirmed that the American government expects to complete its withdrawal operations by the specified date. The move follows ongoing discussions between Baghdad and Washington regarding the future of security cooperation and the transition of military responsibilities to Iraqi forces. The withdrawal represents a significant shift in the regional security landscape, though specific details regarding the transition of bases or the future of bilateral security agreements remain limited in current reporting. The confirmation from both parties suggests a coordinated effort to adhere to the September 30 target, effectively closing a chapter of the long-standing military partnership.
