End of Coalition Mission Marks New Era in Iraq-US Ties, Iraqi Researcher Says

Iraqi political researcher and writer Dr. Aed al-Hilali said the announcement ending the international coalition’s mission in Iraq marked a day of sovereignty for the country.

Speaking from Baghdad, al-Hilali framed the announcement as the beginning of a new era in relations between Iraq and Washington.

His assessment placed Iraqi sovereignty at the centre of the transition, linking the end of the coalition’s mission to a new phase in bilateral ties.
