Briefing: Iraq caught between US and Iran, facing attacks from both warring sides & Iran-aligned actors within
Strategic angle: Iraq navigates a precarious balance between two powerful allies amid escalating conflict.
Iraq is currently navigating a complex geopolitical environment, caught between the competing interests of the United States and Iran. This tension poses significant risks to the country's infrastructure and operational stability.
The ongoing conflict has led to increased attacks from both external forces and Iran-aligned actors within Iraq. These developments threaten not only national security but also the integrity of critical infrastructure systems.
As Iraq attempts to maintain a neutral stance, the potential for escalated violence could disrupt essential services and hinder the country's capacity to manage its resources effectively.
