Kurdish fears rise as last US troops leave Iraq

Original: As the last US troops exit Iraq, Kurdish fears rise and militias celebrate

The final US troops have withdrawn from Iraq, completing a drawdown that reshapes the country's security landscape. Kurdish leaders worry the departure leaves their region exposed to attacks by Iran-backed militias, while those militias publicly celebrate the American exit as a victory. Analysts warn the power vacuum could fuel renewed instability along contested territories and strain relations between Baghdad, Erbil and Washington's remaining interests in the region.

Why now: The completed US withdrawal is a major shift in Middle East security that raises immediate concerns about Kurdish safety and militia influence.
