Iraqi Army: US Forces to Leave Iraq Soon

The Iraqi army’s spokesman announced that United States combat troops stationed in Iraq are scheduled to complete their withdrawal from Iraq by January 31, 2022.

In July 2021, Baghdad and Washington said that the full withdrawal of American combat troops from Iraq would be finished by 2022, although training and advising missions would continue.

“Most of the combat forces have left Iraq, and only advisers and those working in the field of intelligence, training, and advice remain,” Maj. Gen. Tahsin Al Khafaji, spokesman for the Joint Operations Command, said.
