US forces withdrew from their remaining bases in Iraq under a 2024 agreement, Reuters reported, 23 years after the 2003 invasion; seven of the 18 US service members listed as killed in the Iran war died in Iraq. Trump called the 30 September departure a victory for the United States, for Iraq and over ISIS, AFP reported.
