The U.S military will end its mission against the terrorist organization ISIS in Iraq, which is dubbed Operation Inherent Resolve, in September 2025, though some of the roughly 2,500 American troops in the country are expected to remain for an additional year, The Hill reported on Friday.
Citing senior U.S. officials, the outlet said that while Operation Inherent Resolve will wrap one year from now, it will remain in “transition” at least until September 2026.
Without offering specifics, a senior Biden administration official said troop numbers and activities are expected to change and that discussions about details are ongoing.
