U.S.-led coalition concludes Iraq mission against Islamic State

The Pentagon has said United States and coalition partners formally concluded Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq. I had to look it up. Operation Inherent Resolve, OIR, was the US military operation name for the international war against IS, against Islamic State, also known as Daesh, of course, as well, through September 2018 to now. So, an 8-year operation. The US Pentagon Department says Department of War says will continue to provide targeted training and intelligence support for Iraqi partners. So, yeah, you can read what you will from that as well. Orderly departure of coalition forces equipment from Erbil and base marks conclusion of the mission to defeat ISIS in Iraq.
