The United States and Iraq are set to begin talks on the phased withdrawal of the U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq. The coalition, primarily formed to combat Islamic State fighters, has been present in Iraq since 2014, following the U.S. invasion in 2003. These talks are a significant development in U.S.-Iraq relations, reflecting both countries' evolving priorities and the changing security landscape in the region. The discussions will focus on transitioning to a bilateral security partnership, with attention to the impact on regional stability and Iraqi sovereignty. The outcome of these talks could have major implications for the stability of Iraq, the influence of Iran, and the broader geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East.
