Pentagon comments on Baghdad-Washington agreement announcement on international coalition withdrawal, 8 SEPT

  A Pentagon official said that they are aware of reports that have appeared in the media regarding possible plans to withdraw US forces from Iraq, but they are not yet ready to announce any specific dates.

“We are aware of these reports, but we are not yet ready to announce any steps at this time,” the US official said.
Western media outlets had previously reported that the United States and Iraq had reached an agreement on the gradual withdrawal of US-led international coalition forces from Iraq in 2025 and 2026. The
Iraqi Foreign Ministry confirmed in the middle of last month that Baghdad had announced the postponement of the date for announcing the end of the US-led international coalition’s mission due to “recent developments” in the region and the aggression on the Gaza Strip.
