🇮🇶 IRAQ REJECTS FOREIGN TROOPS AFTER SEPTEMBER 30
🚨 Iraq is drawing a clear line: Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has rejected any proposal to keep US-led international coalition forces in the country after September 30, 2026.
🗓️ October 1, 2026 is being described by Baghdad as the beginning of a new era of full Iraqi sovereignty, with no foreign military presence.
🇺🇸 The withdrawal does not mean the end of cooperation with the United States. Iraq says future relations will focus on security cooperation, economic ties and specialized training based on mutual respect.
🔫 This is also highly significant for the ongoing debate over Iraq’s armed factions. Once foreign troops leave, one of the main arguments used by Iran-aligned factions for maintaining independent weapons becomes much weaker.
🎯 The key question: Will the end of the foreign military mission make it easier for Al-Zaidi to bring all weapons under state authority—or will the factions demand new conditions?
⚠️ September 30 → October 1 could become a major turning point for Iraq.

Iraq rejects proposal to keep international coalition forces
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has publicly rejected a plan to keep any US-led international coalition forces in Iraq after the September 30, 2026, deadline.
The spokesperson for the Iraqi government, Haider al-Aboudi, said during a press briefing that Baghdad remains strictly committed to the conclusion of the foreign military mission in the country, the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported.
Al-Zaidi said earlier that October 1, 2026, will mark a new day in Iraq’s statehood when the country achieves complete sovereignty free of foreign troops.
The military mission of the international coalition will expire on September 30, 2026, and the decision is final and irreversible, according to al-Zaidi.
The prime minister underscored that October 1 will bring in a new period of total Iraqi independence and full territorial sovereignty, with no foreign military presence.
Iraq’s future interactions with the international coalition’s member states will focus on direct security, economic, and specialized training cooperation based on mutual respect.
The international coalition was first formed in 2014 to combat the emergence of the terrorist group ISIS.
After Iraq declared military victory over ISIS in 2017, international coalition forces continued to provide advice and training services at Baghdad’s request.
The official withdrawal of the international coalition follows a bilateral arrangement agreed upon by Baghdad and Washington.
