U.S. forces are scheduled to leave their last bases in Iraq by Wednesday, ending a military presence that began with the 2003 invasion and during which about 4,500 Americans died over more than two decades of war.

The pullout was agreed in 2024 under President Joe Biden and is being carried out by President Donald Trump's administration. A U.S. military official said remaining troops in northern Iraq would mostly be redeployed to Jordan and other countries.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi said Oct. 1 would mark "a new day in the course of the Iraqi state," with four public holidays planned. Iran's parliamentary security commission deputy chairman Amir Hayat Moqaddam said Monday that Tehran supports the exit.

Baghdad had tied the withdrawal to an ultimatum for militias to disarm, but al-Zaidi said last week the deadline was extended to June 30, 2027. Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat al-Nujaba and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada have rejected surrendering their weapons.

Iraqi security analyst Jasim al-Bahadli said the coalition's departure removes a presence that acted as a counterweight to Tehran, while Sunni tribal leader Abdulrahman al-Zobaie said Iraq is "still not fully ready to take over the security file."

Iraqi security forces said a suspected Islamic State cell was preparing suicide attacks timed to the pullout. Kurdish commander Sirwan Barzani reported increased sleeper cell movement over more than two weeks following the withdrawal announcement.
