U.S. military officially leaves Iraq

The U.S. military has officially completed its withdrawal from Iraq, according to NPR. The departure ends a military presence that spanned nearly two decades following the 2003 invasion and subsequent operations against insurgents and the Islamic State. The withdrawal marks a major turning point in U.S.-Iraq relations and is likely to fuel debate in both countries over security, Iranian influence and the future stability of the region.

Why now: The end of a nearly two-decade American military presence in Iraq is a significant geopolitical development with wide regional implications.
