US military bases and headquarters have been evacuated and are "fully controlled by Iraqi security forces," the government in Baghdad announced on Sunday.
The troop withdrawal applies to all of what is known as federal Iraq, but not to the areas in the partially autonomous northern Kurdistan Region.
The US's complete withdrawal follows an agreement between Baghdad and Washington from 2024. According to the agreement, American soldiers are also to leave the Kurdistan Region by September 2026.
A US-led military coalition was deployed in Iraq and Syria in 2014 to combat the Islamist terrorist movement ISIS in both countries. ISIS was largely defeated in Iraq in 2017, but terrorist cells still operate in the country.
