Iraq plans to close the U.S.-led coalition's mission in Iraq, citing anger from Iran-aligned militia groups and following a U.S. strike that killed a militia leader. The closure aims to end the coalition's presence in Iraq, marking a broader effort by Iran and Iran-backed factions to expel U.S. forces. Meanwhile, an armed drone targeted a U.S. military base in northern Iraq, without causing casualties or infrastructure damage. The attack followed a U.S. military retaliatory strike against a suspected militia leader linked to recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria. The incident has sparked anger among the militia leaders, who are threatening reprisals and calling for the departure of the 2,500 American soldiers deployed in Iraq.
