[U.S. Military Withdraws from Iraq, U.S.-Iran Negotiations Make Little Progress]
U.S. President Trump stated that the last batch of U.S. troops is leaving Iraq, with U.S. Central Command confirming the withdrawal from Erbil Air Base will be completed by September 30. U.S.-Iran negotiations have made little progress, as Iran has received the U.S.'s seven-day proposal response and discussed it on Wednesday. Trump claimed that the war with Iran would end soon. Houthi forces disclosed that Saudi warplanes conducted 51 airstrikes in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 1,209 since the conflict began. Goldman Sachs pointed out that Saudi exports are above the average level projected for 2025, while Iran did not export crude oil via maritime routes in September. Iraq's Hezbollah has suspended military operations, and UK Prime Minister Burnham stated there are signs indicating Iran's involvement in the Fairford Air Base incident. (Source: Jintou Data)
