Iraq has announced the end of the US-led international coalition mission that had operated in the country, according to a statement from the security adviser to the Iraqi prime minister.
The security adviser said the conclusion of the coalition mission "does not mean the end of partnership" between Iraq and the coalition countries, signaling that cooperation in some form is expected to continue even as the formal mission winds down.
The coalition, originally formed to combat the Islamic State group, has maintained a military and advisory presence in Iraq for several years. Its drawdown reflects a broader shift in the country's security arrangements as Iraqi forces take on greater responsibility.
Details on the specific nature of any continuing partnership, including future troop presence, training programs, or bilateral security agreements, were not included in the available statement.
The announcement is likely to be closely watched by regional and international observers assessing the future of foreign military involvement in Iraq and its implications for regional security dynamics.
