Pentagon Declares the War in Iraq Finally Over

Original: The War in Iraq Is Finally Over https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.moth erjones.com/politics/2026/09/iraq-war-over-penta

The US war in Iraq is reported to be over, more than two decades after the 2003 invasion launched under President George W. Bush. According to the report, the Pentagon has ended its military occupation and advisory presence in the country, closing one of the longest American military commitments in modern history. The declaration prompts renewed debate over the war's cost, legacy and aftermath.

Why now: The Pentagon's reported end to the Iraq war and occupation marks a historic close to a conflict that shaped US politics for over twenty years.
