US armed forces have fully left Iraqi territory after being present in the country for more than 10 years, an Iraqi government official confirmed to the news agency DPA on Sunday.

The confirmation of the complete troop withdrawal came from the Iraqi government side, though the source report did not provide further details on the circumstances or timing behind the move.

The US military presence in Iraq lasted more than a decade. This step marks a significant turning point in relations between the two countries and in the region's security situation following a long period of US troop deployment.
