"Iraq Set to End U.S.-Led Coalition Mission, Says Prime Minister"

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is setting up a committee to oversee the withdrawal of the U.S.-led international coalition forces from Iraq. This decision follows a U.S. airstrike that killed a militia leader in Baghdad, which has increased pressure from Iran-aligned groups to end the coalition's presence. The U.S. maintains troops in the region to prevent an Islamic State resurgence, but the Iraqi government insists on ending the coalition's mission, citing the diminished need for their presence.

The designated individuals are accused of being involved in attacks against the United States and its partners in Iraq and Syria.
