Petraeus Report

The Petraeus Report refers to the assessment of U.S. military efforts in Iraq, led by General David Petraeus in 2007. It evaluated how well the "surge" strategy—sending more troops—was working to improve security and stability. The report highlighted that the increased troop presence was reducing violence, encouraging political progress, and creating conditions for Iraq to manage its own security. It served as an important review guiding U.S. policy decisions, emphasizing that military efforts needed to be accompanied by political and diplomatic initiatives for lasting stability.
