The United States has completed its military withdrawal from Iraq, with the final troops leaving on 30 September, ending a mission that drew years of criticism from Republicans and others. Baghdad has declared a new era of sovereignty, but analysts and observers warn that serious security questions remain, including the role of militias, the presence of foreign forces, and how Iraq will defend itself going forward.

Why now: The US pullout marks a major geopolitical shift that leaves Iraq's future security uncertain.
