Iraqi shiite militant groups have reportedly agreed to a temporary 24-hour ceasefire, following a request mediated through the Iraqi government, to facilitate the complete withdrawal of remaining U.S. and NATO forces from Victoria Base (also known as Victory Base) near Baghdad International Airport.

This follows recent escalations, including drone and rocket attacks on the base by Iran-linked factions amid broader regional tensions. U.S. and NATO personnel have now fully withdrawn from federal Iraqi territory outside the Kurdistan Region, where limited forces remain. NATO separately relocated its non-combat advisory mission from Iraq to Europe earlier this week due to security concerns.
