Baghdad The international coalition in Iraq confirmed today, Sunday, that it has no longer had combat forces in the country since the ninth of this December.
The coalition said, according to the official agency: “As of December 9, there are no US or coalition forces serving a combat role in Iraq, we have been ahead of the schedule and have implemented the commitments made in the dialogue between the United States and Iraq in June 2021.”
“The early transition was made possible by the tremendous progress made by the Iraqi security forces, including the Peshmerga, in developing the ability to lead the fight against ISIS terrorist gangs,” it added.
It continued, “For the remaining US and coalition forces in Iraq, the primary task is to advise, assist and enable the Iraqi security forces to maintain the enduring defeat of ISIS.”
