🇺🇸⚠️ “Pentagon Confirms: U.S. Combat Mission in Iraq Ends September 2025 – What Comes Next?”

📅 August 2025 | Shafaq News x Dinar Revaluation

🚨 Big Military Shift Incoming

A senior official from the U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed to Shafaq News that the U.S. is officially ending its combat mission in Iraq by September 2025 — with a major troop drawdown already underway.

But that’s not the end of America’s role in Iraq. Here's what’s changing:

🪖 Key Highlights:

📉 Combat Presence Ends – New Mission Begins
The U.S. will end its combat role in Iraq as part of a deal made with Baghdad in September 2024. Troops will pivot to a non-combat support and training mission.

🗓️ Timeline Breakdown:

✅ Now: First phase of withdrawal underway
🛫 Convoys moving from Ain al-Asad to Syria, Erbil & Kuwait
🔻 Troop count: 2,000 ➝ 500 by Sept. 2026
🛡️ Post-2025: U.S. shifts to bilateral security cooperation with Iraq

🇸🇾 Syria Still Active Until 2026
U.S. forces will continue anti-ISIS operations in Syria from bases inside Iraq through September 2026, even after combat troops leave Iraqi territory.

⚔️ ISIS Defeat Mission Continues
While combat winds down in Iraq, the broader Coalition effort to defeat ISIS stays alive—particularly via operations launched from Iraqi bases into Syria.

🔍 What This Means for Iraq

💰 Economic & Sovereignty Pressures Increase
With the U.S. stepping back, Iraq will face greater pressure to stabilize economically and assert financial independence—especially with currency reform still pending.

🛢️ Oil + Dollar Auctions = Shifting Strategy
Control over revenue (especially through the Development Fund of Iraq) becomes critical as international presence fades.

🗳️ Pre-Election Tensions
This all unfolds just weeks before Iraq’s October 2025 elections, making monetary reform, troop withdrawal, and political control hot-button issues.

💥 Bottom Line:

The U.S. is pulling back from combat, but not walking away from Iraq. This strategic transition marks the beginning of a new phase — one centered on economic sovereignty, bilateral security, and Iraqi self-reliance.

This could accelerate the push for currency revaluation, budget law activation (12-2C), and deeper reforms ahead of Iraq’s new political chapter.
