Security cooperation persists alongside the lasting legacy of the 2003 invasion and disputes over US forces in Iraq.
Irak hacia Estados Unidos
+15Iraqi governments have cooperated with the United States on counterterrorism, including through the campaign against ISIS, and have maintained a bilateral framework for political, economic, and security cooperation. However, Iraq’s parliament called for foreign forces to leave after the January 2020 US strike in Baghdad, reflecting significant domestic opposition to the US military presence.
Estados Unidos hacia Irak
-10The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 and led the occupation that followed, creating a lasting source of hostility. In later years, it supported Iraqi security forces and took part in the campaign against ISIS, but its military presence and the January 2020 strike in Baghdad have been major sources of tension.
Relación general
-5The relationship is shaped by the severe legacy of the 2003 invasion and occupation, counterbalanced by sustained security cooperation after 2003, including joint efforts against ISIS. Disputes over US forces and the 2020 Baghdad strike demonstrate that the partnership remains politically contested.

Iraqi governments have worked with the United States on counterterrorism and through the 2008 Strategic Framework Agreement, while the 2003 invasion and later disagreements over US forces have left a lasting strain.
