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 in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "As of December 9, there are no US or coalition forces serving a combat role in Iraq, we were ahead of the schedule and we implemented the commitments made in the dialogue between The United States and Iraq in June 2021.

The statement added, "The early transition was possible due to the tremendous progress made by the Iraqi security forces, and Peshmerga, in developing the capability and ability to lead the fight against Daesh terrorist gangs."

And for the remaining US and coalition forces in Iraq, the primary mission is to advise, assist, and enable the Iraqi Security Forces to sustain the enduring defeat of Daesh.
